The truth springs from arguments amongst friends
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
The heart of man is made to reconcile the most glaring contradictions
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
Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can't lose
Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without
To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart
Power comes not from knowledge kept but from knowledge shared
Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn
When we are tired, we are attacked by ideas we conquered long ago
