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
I'm a greater believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it
Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read
I want to sing like the birds sing, not worrying about who hears or what they think
What if you are in hell & you are mad at someone where do you tell them to go?
There is no more open door by which you can enter into the study of natural philosophy than by considering the physical phenomena of a candle
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams
