Mankind are always found prodigal both of blood and treasure in the maintenance of public justice (David Hume Quotes)

Avarice, or the desire of gain, is a universal passion which operates at all times, at all places, and upon all persons (David Hume Quotes)
Few enjoyments are given from the open and liberal hand of nature; but by art, labor and industry we can extract them in great abundance. Hence, the ideas of property become necessary in all civil society (David Hume Quotes)
Municipal laws are a supply to the wisdom of each individual; and, at the same time, by restraining the natural liberty of men, make private interest submit to the interest of the public (David Hume Quotes)

Do you come to a philosopher as to a cunning man, to learn something by magic or witchcraft, beyond what can be known by common prudence and discretion? (David Hume Quotes)
We learn the influence of our will from experience alone. And experience only teaches us, how one event constantly follows another; without instructing us in the secret connexion, which binds them together, and renders them inseparable (David Hume Quotes)
Custom, then, is the great guide of human life. It is that principle alone, which renders our experience useful to us, and makes us expect, for the future, a similar train of events with those which have appeared in the past (David Hume Quotes)
If morality had naturally no influence on human passions and actions, it were in vain to take such pains to inculcate it; and nothing would be more fruitless than that multitude of rules and precepts with which all moralists abound (David Hume Quotes)
The end of all moral speculations is to teach us our duty; and, by proper representations of the deformity of vice and beauty of virtue, beget correspondent habits, and engage us to avoid the one, and embrace the other (David Hume Quotes)
When I am convinced of any principle, it is only an idea which strikes more strongly upon me. When I give the preference to one set of arguments above another, I do nothing but decide from my feeling concerning the superiority of their influence (David Hume Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Enthusiasm produces the most cruel disorders in human society; but its fury is like that of thunder and tempest, which exhaust themselves in a little time, and leave the air more calm and serene than before (David Hume Quotes)
When we reflect on our past sentiments and affections, our thought is a faithful mirror, and copies its objects truly; but the colours which it employs are faint and dull, in comparison of those in which our original perceptions were clothed (David Hume Quotes)
Barbarity, caprice; these qualities, however nominally disguised, we may universally observe from the ruling character of the deity in all regular religions (David Hume Quotes)
Where ambition can cover its enterprises, even to the person himself, under the appearance of principle, it is the most incurable and inflexible of passions (David Hume Quotes)
Any person seasoned with a just sense of the imperfections of natural reason, will fly to revealed truth with the greatest avidity (David Hume Quotes)
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 Quotes)
Men are much oftener thrown on their knees by the melancholy than by the agreeable passions (David Hume Quotes)
No testimony is sufficient to establish a miracle, unless the testimony be of such a kind, that its falsehood would be more miraculous than the fact which it endeavors to establish (David Hume Quotes)
Nothing is more surprising than the easiness with which the many are governed by the few (David Hume Quotes)
Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them (David Hume Quotes)
That the sun will not rise tomorrow is no less intelligible a proposition, and implies no more contradiction, than the affirmation, that it will rise (David Hume Quotes)
The chief benefit, which results from philosophy, arises in an indirect manner, and proceeds more from its secret, insensible influence, than from its immediate application (David Hume Quotes)
The life of man is of no greater importance to the universe than that of an oyster (David Hume Quotes)
To hate, to love, to think, to feel, to see; all this is nothing but to perceive (David Hume Quotes)
In our reasonings concerning matter of fact, there are all imaginable degrees of assurance, from the highest certainty to the lowest species of moral evidence. A wise man, therefore, proportions his belief to the evidence (David Hume Quotes)
The consequence of a very free commerce between the sexes, and of their living much together, will often terminate in intrigues and gallantry (David Hume Quotes)
The richest genius, like the most fertile soil, when uncultivated, shoots up into the rankest weeds (David Hume Quotes)
