David Hume

"Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions."

"It is an absurdity to believe that the Deity has human passions, and one of the lowest of human passions, a restless appetite for applause"

"Stercus accidit."

"It is an absurdity to believe that the Deity has human passions, and one of the lowest of human passions, a restless appetite for applause"

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