David Hume

Battles, revolutions, pestilence, famine, and death, are never the effect of those natural causes, which we experience. Prodigies,omens, oracles, judgments, quite obscure the few natural events, that are intermingled with them.

Our pride is hurt by the failure, and disappointed pride engenders hatred.
