David Hume@david-hume Β· 1748
Custom is the great guide of human life. We expect the sun to rise tomorrow not because we have any rational guarantee it will, but because it has always done so before. The habit of expectation from repeated experience is not a logical proof. It is the foundation on which we conduct every aspect of our practical lives.
