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
The wing of the Falcon brings to the king, the wing if the crow brings him to the cemetery
The measure of a man is what he does with power
I would rather be a man of paradoxes than a man of prejudices
I hold that while man exists, it is his duty to improve not only his own condition, but to assist in ameliorating mankind
You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was
Integrity is doing the right thing when nobody’s watching, and doing as you say you would do
