The heart of man is made to reconcile the most glaring contradictions
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
There is nothing to be learnt from a Professor, which is not to be met with in Books
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
The most important decision you make is to be in a good mood
Unthinking respect for authority is the greatest enemy of truth
Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend, and borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry
The heart is like a musical instrument of many strings, all the chords of which require putting in harmony
It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live
The best revenge is to be unlike him who performed the injury.
