Art may make a suit of clothes, but nature must produce a man
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
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
A dream is a wish your heart makes, when you're fast asleep
The past is a place of reference, not a place of residence; the past is a place of learning, not a place of living
Silence is the best cure for the malady of anger
Nothing can kill the power of the lower self, but everything serves to enhance it.
Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much
I believe life is an intelligent thing. That things aren't random
