All those objects, of which we call the one cause and the other effect, considered in themselves, are as distinct and separate from each other, as any two things in nature, nor can we ever, by the most accurate survey of them, infer the existence of the one from that of the other.

 But in the second place, should it be asked, Whether we ought to search for these principles in nature, or whether we must look for them in some other origin? I would reply, that our answer to this question depends upon the definition of the word, Nature, than which there is none more ambiguous and equivocal. Human Nature is the only science of man; and yet has been hitherto the most neglected. Nature there is totally confounded, and nothing mentioned but winged horses, fiery dragons, and monstrous giants. This quality, therefore, of human nature, not only is very dangerous to society, but also seems, on a cursory view, to be incapable of any remedy. Understanding knows nothing in nature but that which is, or has been, or will be.
