Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them
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
Art may make a suit of clothes, but nature must produce a man
Explanation is where the mind rests
A wise man apportions his beliefs to the evidence
Those who tell the stories rule society
Judge a man by his questions rather than by his answers
The important thing is to know how to take all things quietly
Don't judge me. I was born to be awesome, not perfect
Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they have to say something
We have been created to rely on one another. If a stone is removed from a wall, as if to demonstrate the risk of that wall’s collapsing, and if one of us withdraws, we are left face to face with the danger if its collapse.
