Of all sciences there is none where first appearances are more deceitful than in politics.
David HumeIt's when we start working together that the real healing takes place... it's when we start spilling our sweat, and not our blood.
David HumeThe whole of natural theologyresolves itself into one simple, though somewhat ambiguous proposition, That the cause or causesof order in the universe probably bear some remote analogy to human intelligence.
David HumeWe have no other notion of cause and effect, but that of certain objects, which have always conjoin'd together, and which in all past instances have been found inseparable. We cannot penetrate into the reason of the conjunction. We only observe the thing itself, and always find that from the constant conjunction the objects acquire an union in the imagination.
