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
The life of the dead is set in the memory of the living
You talk when you cease to be at peace with your thoughts
Sometimes people don't want to hear the truth because they don't want their illusions destroyed
It is true that we are made of dust. And the world is also made of dust. But the dust has motes rising
To improve is to change, so to be perfect is to change often
The true hero is one who conquers his own anger and hatred
