“It is a great pity but tis certain from every day's observation of man, that he may be set on fire like a candle, at either end provided there is a sufficient wick standing out.”
![“I know with certainty, that [an honest man] is not to put his hand into the fire, and hold it there, till it be consumed: And thisevent, I think I can foretell with the same assurance, as that, if he throw himself out at the window, and meet with no obstruction, he will not remain a moment…” quote by David Hume](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/164/david-hume-538_air_i-know-with-certainty-that-an-honest-man_2459313.jpg)
