"The idea of God, as meaning an infinitely intelligent, wise, and good Being, arises from reflecting on the operations of our mind, and augmenting, without limit, those qualities of goodness and wisdom."
D. Hume
" An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding "
"But though our thought seems to possess this unbounded liberty, we shall find, upon nearer examination, that it is really confined with very narrow limits, and that all this creative power of the mind amounts to no more than the faculty of compounding, transposing, augmenting, or diminishing the materials afforded us by the senses and experience. "
D. Hume
" An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding "
"The mere philosopher is a character which is commonly but little acceptable in the world, as being supposed to contribute nothing either to the advantage or pleasure of society; while he lives remote from communication with mankind, and is wrapped up in principles and notions equally remote from their comprehension. "
D. Hume
" An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding "
