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
How many roads must a man walk down before he admits he's lost?
I had to deny knowledge in order to make room for faith
Blushing is the most peculiar and most human of all expressions
Take things always by their smooth handle
The authority of those who teach is often an obstacle to those who want to learn
When someone shows you who they are believe them; the first time
