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
Dare to think for yourself
Four things were useless wealth without Expenditure in the way of Allah; Knowledge without practice; Piety for the sake of show prompted by worldliness Long life with no stock of good deeds
We create history by our observation, rather than history creating us
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams
Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it
Look closely. The beautiful may be small
