More From David Hume

In eloquence, the great triumphs of the art are when the orator is lifted above himself; when consciously he makes himself the mere tongue of the occasion and the hour, and says what cannot but be said. hence the term "abandonment" to describe the self- surrender of the orator. not his will, but the principle on which he is horsed, the great connection and crisis of events, thunder in the ear of the crowd.
Art Self Triumph
You make new year's resolutions. and you make them into the teeth of old resolutions which were different. then you don't keep your new resolutions and you tell yourself you are weak-willed. you aren't weak-willed, you are simply obeying yourself as of yesterday.
New Year Years Yesterday
A world in which time is absolute is a world of consolation. for while the movements of people are unpredictable, the movement of time is predictable. while people can be doubted, time cannot be doubted. while people brood, time skips ahead without looking back. in the coffee houses, in the government buildings, in boats of lake geneva, people look at their watches and take refuge in time. each person knows that somewhere is recorded the moment she was born, the moment she took her first step, the moment of her first passion, the moment she said goodbye to her parents.

A world in which time is absolute is a world of consolation. for while the movements of people are unpredictable, the movement of time is predictable. while people can be doubted, time cannot be doubted. while people brood, time skips ahead without looking back.

If you have a golf-ball-sized consciousness, when you read a book, you'll have a golf-ball-sized understanding; when you look out a window, a golf-ball-sized awareness, when you wake up in the morning, a golf-ball-sized wakefulness; and as you go about your day, a golf-ball-sized inner happiness. but if you can expand that consciousness, make it grow, then when you read about that book, you'll have more understanding; when you look out, more awareness; when you wake up, more wakefulness; as you go about your day, more inner happiness.
Happiness Morning Book
I was okay with singing. i always sneak a song into everything i do. dancing, a little awkward. little embarrassed about that. i don't move well. but i was with a frog, so it doesn't matter. i'll do anything with a frog, that's my motto. he's great with tap-dancing or flap-dancing on my head. so no one's going to be looking at me when we're doing that dance. they're going to be saying, 'there's a frog dancing'.

I would have found something because i love to entertain people. i had the option to take the rest of the year off. but i said the songs on my last solo album, '24 karat gold,' mean so much to me. i need to get out there and sing them.

I had composed songs, i sang, and played the vina. practising this music i arrived at a stage where i touched the music of the spheres. then every soul became a musical note, and all life became music. inspired by it i spoke to the people, and those who were attracted by my words listened to them instead of listening to my songs.
