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
Even if you are on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there
Let the other guys do the crybaby stuff. Go for the laughs
Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren’t very new at all
Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts
You can make anything by writing
The most important decision you make is to be in a good mood
