But it is a miracle that a dead man should come to life; because that has never been observed in any age or country.
David HumeTruth is disputable; not taste: what exists in the nature of things is the standard of our judgement; what each man feels within himself is the standard of sentiment. Propositions in geometry may be proved, systems in physics may be controverted; but the harmony of verse, the tenderness of passion, the brilliancy of wit, must give immediate pleasure. No man reasons concerning another's beauty; but frequently concerning the justice or injustice of his actions.
David HumeThe great subverter of Pyrrhonism or the excessive principles of scepticism is action, and employment, and the occupations of common life.
