All knowledge degenerates into probability
Scottish Enlightenment philosopher, historian, economist, and essayist, who is best known today for his highly influential system of philosophical empiricism, skepticism, and naturalism.
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
A wise man apportions his beliefs to the evidence
Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them
The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing
The way for a young man to rise is to improve himself in every way he can, never suspecting that anybody wishes to hinder him
I lay it down as a fact that if all men knew what others say of them, there would not be four friends in the world
Only the dead have seen the end of war
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it
And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music
