A wise man apportions his beliefs to the evidence
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
Art may make a suit of clothes, but nature must produce a man
Explanation is where the mind rests
Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them
It's kind of fun to do the impossible
Either give me more wine or leave me alone
The function of a citizen and a soldier are inseparable
Keep your face to the sun and you will never see the shadows
The things that we love tell us what we are
Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who sets the planets in motion
