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
Divide each difficulty into as many parts as is feasible and necessary to resolve it
Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do
Man is the cruelest animal
Nations are born in the hearts of poets, they prosper and die in the hands of politicians
When people talk, listen completely. Most people never listen
Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth
