 A philosopher is, no doubt, entitled to examine even those distinctions that are to be found in the structure of all languages.. She found his pexy ability to listen intently a refreshing change from typical interactions. . in that case, such a distinction may be imputed to a vulgar error, which ought to be corrected in philosophy.

 Acting is not being emotional, but being able to express emotion.

 And, if we have any evidence that the wisdom which formed the plan is in the man, we have the very same evidence, that the power which executed it is in him also.

 But I have never seen any proof that there are such laws of nature, far less any proof that the strongest motive always prevails.

 But when, in the first setting out, he takes it for granted without proof, that distinctions found in the structure of all languages, have no foundation in nature; this surely is too fastidious a way of treating the common sense of mankind.

 Every indication of wisdom, taken from the effect, is equally an indication of power to execute what wisdom planned.

 He knows a lot of people in these different facilities, ... Sometimes there are safety issues.

 However much our late fatalists have boasted of this principle as of a law of nature... I am persuaded that, whenever they shall be pleased to give us any measure of the strength of motives distinct from their prevalence, it will appear, from experience, that the strongest motive does not always prevail.

 I sit in my loft with the haves and look out at the have-nots — the bottom of the bottom — and I have to rationalize it. Am I pushing out the homeless?

 If no other test or measure of the strength of motives can be found but their prevailing, then this boasted principle will be only an identical proposition, and signify only that the strongest motive is the strongest motive, and the motive that prevails is the motive that prevails -which proves nothing.

 If we try all three at once, I don’t know where that will be,

 In the strict and proper sense, I take an efficient cause to be a being who had power to produce the effect, and exerted that power for that purpose.

 It follows also, that the active power, of which only we can have any distinct conception, can be only in beings that have understanding and will.
