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
Men are driven by two principal impulses, either by love or by fear
If you think you can slander a woman into loving you, or a man into voting for you, try it till you are satisfied
He who is fond of delicious food, let him bear in mind that ultimately he is to be food for worms
A wise man apportions his beliefs to the evidence
Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls, the most massive characters are seared with scars
One who makes himself a worm cannot complain afterwards if people step on him
