More From David Hume
- "A purpose, an intention, a design, strikes everywhere even the careless, the most stupid thinker."
- "This avidity alone, of acquiring goods and possessions for ourselves and our nearest friends, is insatiable, perpetual, universal, and directly destructive of society."
- "The heights of popularity and patriotism are still the beaten road to power and tyranny."
More In Nature
- "A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks."― Thomas Jefferson
- "I think anytime you can affect people in general, in a positive way, then you’re a lucky individual."― Sam Elliott
- "The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides."― Jules Verne
