Explanation is where the mind rests
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
A wise man apportions his beliefs to the evidence
Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them
The enemy is the necessary condition for practicing patience
Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice
Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do
The greatest deception men suffer is from their own opinions
Nothing can kill the power of the lower self, but everything serves to enhance it.
