Beauty is no quality in things themselves: It exists merely in the mind which contemplates them; and each mind perceives a different beauty
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
People who miss the opportunity are many, but there is no one whom opportunity misses.
Life is short , smile while you still have teeth
Set your heart on doing good. Do it over and over again and you will be filled with joy
He who is a slave to his stomach seldom worships God
The more man meditates upon good thoughts, the better will be his world and the world at large
To reach and pass by the goal is the same as not reaching it.
