It is difficult for a man to speak long of himself without vanity; therefore I shall be short.

Where men are the most sure and arrogant, they are commonly the most mistaken, and have there given reins to passion, without that proper deliberation and suspense, which can alone secure them from the grossest absurdities.

An Enquiry Concerning the Principles of Morals (1751)
