Picture Quotes It forms a strong presumption against all supernatural and miraculous relations, that they are observed chiefly to abound among ignorant and barbarous nations; or if a civilized people has ever given admission to any of them, that people will be found to have received them from ignorant and barbarous ancestors. —David HumeWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this

Picture Quotes The importance of the romantic element does not rest upon conjecture. Pleasing testimonies abound.

Books of entertainment led him to believe in a spiritual world; and he felt sure of having been a coward, but for romances. He declared that he had learned more of his duty to God, his neighbor and himself from Robinson Crusoe than from all the books, except the Bible, that were known to his youth. —Robert Aris WillmottWhatsappFacebookTwitterGoogle PlusPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
