The heart of man is made to reconcile the most glaring contradictions
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
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
Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them
Tact is the knack of making a point without making an enemy
The measure of a man is what he does with power
Radium is not to enrich any one. It is an element; it is for all people
He who wishes to be obeyed must know how to command
The worst sin is that which the sinner takes lightly
I can't imagine a man really enjoying a book and reading it only once
