David Hume

It is seldom that liberty of any kind is lost all at once.

Beauty in things exist in the mind which contemplates them.

Truth, springs from agrument amongst friends.

Custom is the great guide of human life.

Art may make a suit of clothes: but nature must produce a man.

If we take in our hand any volume; of divinity or school metaphysics, for instance; let us ask, "Does it contain any abstract reasoning concerning quantity or number?" No. "Does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matter of fact and existence?" No. Commit it then to the flames: for it can contain nothing but sophistry and illusion.

Truth springs from argument amongst friends.
