David Hume quote: "A propensity to hope and joy is real riches; one to fear and..."
A propensity to hope and joy is real riches; one to fear and sorrow real poverty. David Hume
It'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
But where the ideas of morality and decency alter from one age to another, and where vicious manners are described, without being marked with the proper character of blame and disapprobation, this must be allowed to disfigure the poem, and to be a real deformity. I cannot, nor is it proper I should, enter into such sentiments; and however I may excuse the poet, on account of the manners of age, I can never relish the composition. David Hume
All sentiment is right; because sentiment has a reference to nothing beyond itself, and is always real, wherever a man is conscious of it. But all determinations of the understanding are not right; because they have a reference to something beyond themselves, to wit, real matter of fact; and are not always conformable to that standard. David Hume
