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
Those who make fun of you, those who try to get rid of you, they are the people whose applause you most often seek to obtain.
Let yourself be drawn by the stronger pull of that which you truly love
Power comes not from knowledge kept but from knowledge shared
The elements which are the most widely diffused have small atomic weights
Take things always by their smooth handle
Many a small thing has been made large by the right kind of advertising
