Motivational Quotes

Reason

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 Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Reason

1.
There is really nothing more to say except why. But since why is difficult to handle, one must take refuge in how.
Morrison, Toni

2.
Reason is a whore, surviving by simulation, versatility, and shamelessness.
Cioran, E. M.

3.
Many are destined to reason wrongly; others, not to reason at all; and others, to persecute those who do reason.
Voltaire

4.
People are governed with the head; kindness of heart is little use in chess.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

5.
Let reason govern desire.
Cicero, Marcus T.

6.
On life's vast ocean diversely we sail. Reasons the card, but passion the gale.
Pope, Alexander

7.
Reason is a very light rider, and easily shook off.
Swift, Jonathan

8.
Reason has always existed, but not always in a reasonable form.
Karl Marx

9.
I tried being reasonable, I didn't like it.
Eastwood, Clint

10.
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

11.
Most men seem to live according to sense rather than reason.
Aquinas, St. Thomas

12.
He who has a strong enough why can bear almost any how.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

I'll not listen to reason. Reason always means what someone else has got to say.
Gaskell, Elizabeth

14.
Reason has never failed men. Only force and repression have made the wrecks in the world.
White, William Allen

15.
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

16.
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

17.
Reason is the test of ridicule, not ridicule the test of truth.
Warburton, William

18.
To reason about love is to lose reason.
Boufflers

19.
Reason itself is fallible, and this fallibility must find a place in our logic.
Abbagnano, Nicola

20.
Many that are not mad have, sure, more lack of reason.
William Shakespeare

21.
Reason is a crutch for age, but youth is strong enough to walk alone.
Dryden, John

22.
A person possessed with an idea cannot be reasoned with.
Froude, James A.

23.
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

24.
If you follow reason far enough it always leads to conclusions that are contrary to reason.
Butler, Samuel

25.
Reason is a harmonizing, controlling force rather than a creative one.
Russell, Bertrand

26.
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

27.
Some excel in rhyme who reason foolishly.
Boileau, Nicholas

28.
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

29.
I am never upset for the reason I think.
A Course In Miracles

30.
Write on my gravestone: Infidel, Traitor.--infidel to every church that compromises with wrong; traitor to every government that oppresses the people.
Phillips, Wendell

31.
No one ever excused his way to success.
Dotto, Dave Del

32.
An appeal to the reason of the people has never been known to fail in the long run.
Lowell, James Russell

33.
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

34.
Passion and prejudice govern the world; only under the name of reason.
Wesley, John

35.
Treason is like diamonds; there is nothing to be made by the small trader.
Jerrold, Douglas William

36.
Reason transformed into prejudice is the worst form of prejudice, because reason is the only instrument for liberation from prejudice.
Bloom, Allan

37.
As reason is a rebel to faith, so passion is a rebel to reason.
Browne, Sir Thomas

38.
Reason gains all people by compelling none.
Hill, Aaron

39.
Everything that is beautiful and noble is the product of reason and calculation.
Baudelaire, Charles

40.
Most of us, when all is said and done, like what we like and make up reasons for it afterwards.
Petersen, Soren F.

41.
Everyone has his reasons.
Renoir, Jean

42.
Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up.
Frost, Robert

43.
Do not banish reason for inequality; but let your reason serve to make the truth appear where it seems hid, and hide the false seems true.
William Shakespeare

44.
Reasoning draws a conclusion, but does not make the conclusion certain, unless the mind discovers it by the path of experience.
Bacon, Roger

O'Brian, John Lord

50.
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
