Reason

We are a rebellious nation. Our whole history is treason; our blood was attained before we were born; our creeds were infidelity to the mother church; our constitution treason to our fatherland.
- Parker, Theodore
Reason Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Reason

1.
Write on my gravestone: Infidel, Traitor.--infidel to every church that compromises with wrong; traitor to every government that oppresses the people.
Phillips, Wendell

2.
A person possessed with an idea cannot be reasoned with.
Froude, James A.

3.
Reason sits firm and holds the reins, and she will not let the feelings burst away and hurry her to wild chasms. The passions may rage furiously, like true heathens, as they are; and the desires may imagine all sorts of vain things: but judgment shall still have the last word in every argument, and the casting vote in every decision.
Bronte, Charlotte

4.
Reason itself is fallible, and this fallibility must find a place in our logic.
Abbagnano, Nicola

5.
To reason about love is to lose reason.
Boufflers

6.
To give a reason for anything is to breed a doubt of it.
Hazlitt, William

7.
Reason is a faculty far larger than mere objective force. When either the political or the scientific discourse announces itself as the voice of reason, it is playing God, and should be spanked and stood in the corner.
Guin, Ursula K. Le

8.
Most men seem to live according to sense rather than reason.
Aquinas, St. Thomas

9.
Our passion and principles are constantly in a frenzy, but begin to shift and waver, as we return to reason.
Sterne, Laurence

10.
There is really nothing more to say except why. But since why is difficult to handle, one must take refuge in how.
Morrison, Toni

11.
Treason is like diamonds; there is nothing to be made by the small trader.
Jerrold, Douglas William

12.
As if reasoning were any kind of writing or talking which tends to convince people that some doctrine or measure is true and right.
Beecher, Catharine Esther

13.
If you can once engage people's pride, love, pity, ambition (or whatever is their prevailing passion) on your side, you need not fear what their reason can do against you.
Chesterfield, Lord

14.
A noble heart will always capitulate to reason.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von

15.
Nothing is ever accomplished by a reasonable man.
Shaw, George Bernard

16.
A man has free choice to the extent that he is rational.
Aquinas, St. Thomas

17.
Reason is a crutch for age, but youth is strong enough to walk alone.
Dryden, John

18.
You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.

19.
The only business of the head in the world is to bow a ceaseless obeisance to the heart.
Yeats, William Butler

20.
Reason is a very light rider, and easily shook off.
Swift, Jonathan

21.
He who has a strong enough why can bear almost any how.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

22.
Reasonable people adapt themselves to the world. Unreasonable people attempt to adapt the world to themselves. All progress, therefore, depends on unreasonable people.
Shaw, George Bernard

23.
It takes less time to do a thing right than to explain why you did it wrong.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

24.
Whenever a person strives, by the help of dialectic, to start in pursuit of every reality by a simple process of reason, independent of all sensuous information -- never flinching, until by an act of the pure intelligence he has grasped the real nature of good -- he arrives at the very end of the intellectual world.
Plato

25.
Why does man kill? He kills for food. And not only food: frequently there must be a beverage.
Allen, Woody

26.
To him who looks upon the world rationally, the world in its turn presents a rational aspect. The relation is mutual.
Hegel, Georg

27.
Reason is the historian, but passions are the actors.
Rivarol, Antoine

28.
Man is a reasoning rather than a reasonable animal.
Hamilton, Alexander

29.
The trouble with Reason is that it becomes meaningless at the exact point where it refuses to act.
Devoto, Bernard

30.
Many that are not mad have, sure, more lack of reason.
William Shakespeare

31.
Some excel in rhyme who reason foolishly.
Boileau, Nicholas

32.
Reason has never failed men. Only force and repression have made the wrecks in the world.
White, William Allen

33.
Passion and prejudice govern the world; only under the name of reason.
Wesley, John

34.
His reasons are as two grains of wheat his in two bushels of chaff: you shall seek all day ere you find them, and when you have them, they are not worth the search.
William Shakespeare

35.
I tried being reasonable, I didn't like it.
Eastwood, Clint

36.
Just as love is an orientation which refers to all objects and is incompatible with the restriction to one object, so is reason a human faculty which must embrace the whole of the world with which man is confronted.
Fromm, Erich

37.
Rationalists are admirable beings, rationalism is a hideous monster when it claims for itself omnipotence. Attribution of omnipotence to reason is as bad a piece of idolatry as is worship of stock and stone believing it to be God. I plead not for the suppression of reason, but for a due recognition of that in us which sanctifies reason.
Gandhi, Mahatma

38.
Reasoning draws a conclusion, but does not make the conclusion certain, unless the mind discovers it by the path of experience.
Bacon, Roger

39.
Nothing is divine but what is agreeable to reason.
Kant, Immanuel

40.
Everyone has his reasons.
Renoir, Jean

41.
The person who is master of their passions is reason's slave.
Connolly, Cyril

42.
Many are destined to reason wrongly; others, not to reason at all; and others, to persecute those who do reason.
Voltaire

43.
People are governed with the head; kindness of heart is little use in chess.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

44.
Is there not some chosen curse, some hidden thunder in the stores of heaven, red with uncommon wrath, to blast the man who owes his greatness to his country's ruin!
Addison, Joseph

45.
Reason can in general do more than blind force.
Gallus, Gaius C.

46.
What is a man, If his chief good and market of his time Be but to sleep and feed? a beast, no more. Sure, he that made us with such large discourse, Looking before and after, gave us not That capability and god-like reason To fust in us unused.
Shakespeare, William

47.
It was not reason that besieged Troy; it was not reason that sent forth the Saracen from the desert to conquer the world; that inspired the crusades; that instituted the monastic orders; it was not reason that produced the Jesuits; above all, it was not reason that created the French Revolution. Man is only great when he acts from the passions; never irresistible but when he appeals to the imagination.
Disraeli, Benjamin

48.
Every why hath a wherefore.
William Shakespeare

49.
What is rational is actual, and what is actual is rational.
Hegel, Georg

50.
Man always has two reasons for the things he does; the logical one and the real one.
