Famous quotes containing the word species:

    “A man, to be greatly good, must imagine intensely and comprehensively; he must put himself in the place of another and of many others; the pains and pleasures of his species must become his own.”
    —Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)

    “Any reading not of a vicious species must be a good substitute for the amusements too apt to fill up the leisure of the labouring classes.”
    —James Madison (1751–1836)

    “Thus all probable reasoning is nothing but a species of sensation. ‘Tis not solely in poetry and music, we must follow our taste and sentiment, but likewise in philosophy, When I am convinc’d of any principle, ‘tis 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 (1711–1776)
