From Indolent Essays, by Richard DowlingFORTUNE
"David Hume tells us he was born with the happy disposition which makes a man look at the bright side of the picture, and that he accounts such a disposition better than a fortune of 'ten thousand pound.' If he means the first ten thousand pounds -- the ten thousand pounds between him and struggle, penury, the workhouse -- I do not know that I agree with him."
