Heaven and hell suppose two distinct species of men, the good and the bad. But the greatest part of mankind float betwixt vice and virtue (David Hume Quotes)
Nothing endears so much a friend as sorrow for his death. The pleasure of his company has not so powerful an influence (David Hume Quotes)
The advantages found in history seem to be of three kinds, as it amuses the fancy, as it improves the understanding, and as it strengthens virtue (David Hume Quotes)
The Christian religion not only was at first attended with miracles, but even at this day cannot be believed by any reasonable person without one (David Hume Quotes)

I am ready to reject all belief and reasoning, and can look upon no opinion even as more probable or likely than another (David Hume Quotes)
If suicide be supposed a crime, it is only cowardice can impel us to it. If it be no crime, both prudence and courage should engage us to rid ourselves at once of existence when it becomes a burden. It is the only way that we can then be useful to society, by setting an example which, if imitated, would preserve every one his chance for happiness in life, and would effectually free him from all danger or misery (David Hume Quotes)

The observation of human blindness and weakness is the result of all philosophy, and meets us at every turn, in spite of our endeavours to elude or avoid it (David Hume Quotes)
