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
Words are a pretext. It is the inner bond that draws one person to another, not words
I was born and have ever remained in the most humble walks of life
Surely silence can sometimes be the most eloquent reply
The unprepared mind cannot see the outstretched hand of opportunity
If you are irritated by every rub, how will your mirror be polished?
Measure what can be measured, and make measurable what cannot be measured
