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
Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again
The important thing is to know how to take all things quietly
Anger dwells only in the bosom of fools
It's kind of fun to do the impossible
With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts
Never whisper in company
