David Hume

Scottish - Philosopher May 7, 1711 - August 25, 1776

With the author

Scholastic learning and polemical divinity retarded the growth of all true knowledge.

David Hume

Every wise, just, and mild government, by rendering the condition of its subjects easy and secure, will always abound most in people, as well as in commodities and riches.

David Hume

Men often act knowingly against their interest.

David Hume

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

The heights of popularity and patriotism are still the beaten road to power and tyranny.

David Hume

Truth springs from argument amongst friends.

David Hume

The life of man is of no greater importance to the universe than that of an oyster.

David Hume

A propensity to hope and joy is real riches; one to fear and sorrow real poverty.

David Hume

Beauty is our weapon against nature; by it we make objects, giving them limit, symmetry, proportion. Beauty halts and freezes the melting flux of nature.

Camille Paglia

Real beauty is to be true to oneself. That's what makes me feel good.

Laetitia Casta

I consider myself a woman endowed with inner beauty.

Leila Lopes

We all have a natural beauty. It's about accentuating and figuring out what your thing is.

Eva Marcille

Some guys say beauty is only skin deep. But when you walk into a party, you don't see somebody's brain. The initial contact has to be the sniffing.

James Caan

Tramping is too easy with all this money. My days were more exciting when I was penniless and had to forage around for my next meal... I've decided that I'm going to live this life for some time to come. The freedom and simple beauty of it is just too good to pass up.

Christopher McCandless

Venus, ancient goddess of love and beauty, is an apparently irrelevant, invented deity of the long dead. But Venus merits scrutiny. Chart her life story across 5,000 years and you chart the evolution of our conflicted relationship with sex and with the female body.

Bettany Hughes

I longed to arrest all beauty that came before me, and at length the longing has been satisfied.

Julia Margaret Cameron
