Probability Law

    Liberty is a blessing so inestimable, that, wherever there appears any probability of recovering it, a nation may willingly run many hazards, and ought not even to repine at the greatest effusion of blood or dissipation of treasure.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    It grieves me to think how far more profound and reverent a respect the law would have for literature if a body could only get drunk on it.
