Art may make a suit of clothes, but nature must produce a man
Scottish Enlightenment philosopher, historian, economist, and essayist, who is best known today for his highly influential system of philosophical empiricism, skepticism, and naturalism.
All knowledge degenerates into probability
The heart of man is made to reconcile the most glaring contradictions
There is nothing to be learnt from a Professor, which is not to be met with in Books
Explanation is where the mind rests
A wise man apportions his beliefs to the evidence
Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them
A man of virtue, judgment, and prudence speaks not until there is silence
A graceful refusal is better than a lengthy promise.
Remember that sometimes not getting what you want is a wonderful stroke of luck
The best deed of a great man is to forgive and forget
Everything you can imagine is real
Nations are born in the hearts of poets, they prosper and die in the hands of politicians
