There is nothing to be learnt from a Professor, which is not to be met with in Books
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
Art may make a suit of clothes, but nature must produce a man
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
When someone shows you who they are believe them; the first time
To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible
Good better best Never let it rest. Til your Good is Better and your Better is Best
Never discourage anyone...who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.
I am not apt to follow blindly the lead of other men
Brevity is the soul of wit
