When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it, 45 And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.
Strona 40 - It is experience only which gives authority to human testimony; and it is the same experience which assures us of the laws of nature. When, therefore, these two kinds of experience are contrary, we have nothing to do but to subtract the one from the other, and embrace an opinion either on one side or the other, with that assurance which arises from the remainder.
Strona 300 - ... all that toil, all that anxiety, all those mortifications, which must be undergone in the pursuit of it, and, what is of yet more consequence, all that leisure, all that ease, all that careless security, which are forfeited forever by the acquisition.
