The difference between a man who is led by opinion or emotion and one who is led by reason. The former, whether he will or not, performs things of which he is entirely ignorant; the latter is subordinate to no one, and only does those things which he knows to be of primary importance in his life, and which on that account he desires the most; and therefore I call the former a slave, but the latter free.
David HumeThe forming of general maxims from particular observation is a very nice operation; and nothing is more usual, from haste or a narrowness of mind, which sees not on all sides, than to commit mistakes in this particular.
David HumeBeauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.
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 Hume
