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
There has to be evil so that good can prove its purity above it

We are afraid to care too much, for fear that the other person does not care at all
To make light of philosophy is to be a true philosopher
Shortest horror story: Monday
It is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered
