Hume

Famous quotes containing the word hume:

    Philosophy would render us entirely Pyrrhonian, were not nature too strong for it.
    —David Hume (1711–1776)

    To hate, to love, to think, to feel, to see; all this is nothing but to perceive.
    —David Hume (1711–1776)

    Reasoning from the common course of nature, and without supposing any new interposition of the Supreme Cause, which ought always to be excluded from philosophy; what is incorruptible must also be ingenerable. The soul, therefore, if immortal, existed before our birth: And if the former existence noways concerned us, neither will the latter.
    —David Hume (1711–1776)
