David Hume Quotes

Disputes With Men, Pertinaciously Obstinate In Their Principles, Are, Of All Others, The Most Irksome; Except, Perhaps, Those With Persons, Entirely Disingenuous, Who Really Do Not Believe The Opinions They Defend, But Engage In The Controversy, From Affectation, From A Spirit Of Opposition, Or From A Desire Of Showing Wit And Ingenuity, Superior To The Rest Of Mankind. The Same Blind Adherence To Their Own Arguments Is To Be Expected In Both; The Same Contempt Of Their Antagonists; And The Same Passionate Vehemence, In Enforcing Sophistry And Falsehood. And As Reasoning Is Not The Source, Whence Either Disputant Derives His Tenets; It Is In Vain To Expect, That Any Logic, Which Speaks Not To The Affections, Will Ever Engage Him To Embrace Sounder Principles.
