Motivational Quotes
Reason
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.
Best Quotes about Reason
Man always has two reasons for the things he does; the logical one and the real one.
The more you reason the less you create.
Chandler, Raymond
Reason gains all people by compelling none.
Hill, Aaron
To reason about love is to lose reason.
Boufflers
You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.
O reason, reason, abstract phantom of the waking state, I had already expelled you from my dreams, now I have reached a point where those dreams are about to become fused with apparent realities: now there is only room here for myself.
Aragon, Louis
I got fame and fortune, and I lost my sense of reasoning.
Richard, Little
Reason is a very light rider, and easily shook off.
Swift, Jonathan
People are governed with the head; kindness of heart is little use in chess.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De
Every why hath a wherefore.
William Shakespeare
Everything that is beautiful and noble is the product of reason and calculation.
Baudelaire, Charles
Nothing is ever accomplished by a reasonable man.
Shaw, George Bernard
Many that are not mad have, sure, more lack of reason.
William Shakespeare
Many are destined to reason wrongly; others, not to reason at all; and others, to persecute those who do reason.
Voltaire
Reason is like an officer when the king appears. The officer then loses his power and hides himself. Reason is the shadow cast by God; Go is the sun.
Rumi, Jalal-Uddin
Reason has always existed, but not always in a reasonable form.
Karl Marx
Reason can in general do more than blind force.
Gallus, Gaius C.
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
If you follow reason far enough it always leads to conclusions that are contrary to reason.
Butler, Samuel
Everyone has his reasons.
Renoir, Jean
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
To give a reason for anything is to breed a doubt of it.
Hazlitt, William
What is now reason was formerly impulse or instinct.
Ovid
Man is a reasoning rather than a reasonable animal.
Hamilton, Alexander
Passion and prejudice govern the world; only under the name of reason.
Wesley, John
Write on my gravestone: Infidel, Traitor.--infidel to every church that compromises with wrong; traitor to every government that oppresses the people.
Phillips, Wendell
I'll not listen to reason. Reason always means what someone else has got to say.
Gaskell, Elizabeth
I am never upset for the reason I think.
A Course In Miracles
The trouble with Reason is that it becomes meaningless at the exact point where it refuses to act.
Devoto, Bernard
To him who looks upon the world rationally, the world in its turn presents a rational aspect. The relation is mutual.
Hegel, Georg
No one ever excused his way to success.
Dotto, Dave Del
There is really nothing more to say except why. But since why is difficult to handle, one must take refuge in how.
Morrison, Toni
Reason has never failed men. Only force and repression have made the wrecks in the world.
White, William Allen
Reason is the test of ridicule, not ridicule the test of truth.
Warburton, William
Reason is the wise man's guide, example the fool's.
Proverb, Welsh
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
That proves you are unusual, returned the Scarecrow; and I am convinced the only people worthy of consideration in this world are the unusual ones. For the common folks are like the leaves of a tree, and live and die unnoticed.
Baum, Lyman Frank
The madman is not the man who has lost his reason. He is the man who has lost everything except his reason.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
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
Reason is a whore, the greatest enemy that faith has.
Luther, Martin
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
Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up.
Frost, Robert
A man always has two reasons for doing anything -- a good reason and the real reason.
Morgan, John Pierpont
The person who is master of their passions is reason's slave.
Connolly, Cyril
A person possessed with an idea cannot be reasoned with.
Froude, James A.
Most men seem to live according to sense rather than reason.
Aquinas, St. Thomas
On life's vast ocean diversely we sail. Reasons the card, but passion the gale.
Pope, Alexander
There are strange flowers of reason to match each error of the senses.
Aragon, Louis
Reason transformed into prejudice is the worst form of prejudice, because reason is the only instrument for liberation from prejudice.
Bloom, Allan
As soon as man began considering himself the source of the highest meaning in the world and the measure of everything, the world began to lose its human dimension, and man began to lose control of it.
Havel, Vaclav
