Hume/people

Famous quotes containing the words hume and/or people:

    One would appear ridiculous who would say, that it is only probable the sun will rise to-morrow, or that all men must die; though it is plain we have no further assurance of these facts than what experience affords us.
    —David Hume (1711–1776)

    Only when human sorrows are turned into a toy with glaring colors will baby people become interested—for a while at least. The people are a very fickle baby that must have new toys every day.
    Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
