picture of David Hume

"The great end of all human industry is the attainment of happiness. For this were arts invented,
sciences cultivated, laws ordained, and societies modeled, by the most profound wisdom of patriots
and legislators. Even the lonely savage, who lies exposed to the inclemency of the elements and the
fury of wild beasts, forgets not, for a moment, this grand object of his being."

David Hume
(1711 - 76)
