David Hume

The minds of men are mirrors to one another, not only because they reflect each other's emotions, but also because those rays of passions, sentiments and opinions may be often reverberated, and may decay away by insensible degrees.

David Hume

Avarice, or the desire of gain, is a universal passion which operates at all times, at all places, and upon all persons.

David Hume

Truth is disputable; not taste: what exists in the nature of things is the standard of our judgement; what each man feels within himself is the standard of sentiment.

No man reasons concerning another's beauty; but frequently concerning the justice or injustice of his actions.

David Hume
