QUOTES BY David Hume

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them.

Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty.

"Men often act knowingly against their interest."

"It is more rational to suspect knavery and folly than to discount, at a stroke, everything that past experience has taught me about the way things actually work"

"Truth springs from argument amongst friends."

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

"A wise man proportions his belief to the evidence"

"Character is the result of a system of stereotyped principals."

"He is happy whose circumstances suit his temper but he is more excellent who can suit his temper to any circumstances"
