Reason Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Reason

1.
There are strange flowers of reason to match each error of the senses.
Aragon, Louis

2.
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

3.
Reason can in general do more than blind force.
Gallus, Gaius C.

4.
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

5.
The trouble with Reason is that it becomes meaningless at the exact point where it refuses to act.
Devoto, Bernard

6.
To him who looks upon the world rationally, the world in its turn presents a rational aspect. The relation is mutual.
Hegel, Georg

7.
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 unus'd.
William Shakespeare

8.
A person possessed with an idea cannot be reasoned with.
Froude, James A.

9.
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.

10.
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

11.
As reason is a rebel to faith, so passion is a rebel to reason.
Browne, Sir Thomas

12.
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

13.
Man is a reasoning rather than a reasonable animal.
Hamilton, Alexander

14.
Reason lies between the bridle and the spur.
Proverb, Italian

15.
You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into.

16.
A man always has two reasons for doing anything -- a good reason and the real reason.
Morgan, John Pierpont

17.
There is really nothing more to say except why. But since why is difficult to handle, one must take refuge in how.
Morrison, Toni

18.
I'll not listen to reason. Reason always means what someone else has got to say.
Gaskell, Elizabeth

19.
Let reason govern desire.
Cicero, Marcus T.

20.
Reason has always existed, but not always in a reasonable form.
Karl Marx

21.
Reason now gazes above the realm of the dark but warm feelings as the Alpine peaks do above the clouds. They behold the sun more clearly and distinctly, but they are cold and unfruitful.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

22.
Every why hath a wherefore.
William Shakespeare

23.
Many that are not mad have, sure, more lack of reason.
William Shakespeare

24.
Nothing is ever accomplished by a reasonable man.
Shaw, George Bernard

25.
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

26.
The more you reason the less you create.
Chandler, Raymond

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

28.
Treason is like diamonds; there is nothing to be made by the small trader.
Jerrold, Douglas William

29.
Reason is the test of ridicule, not ridicule the test of truth.
Warburton, William

30.
Reasoning draws a conclusion, but does not make the conclusion certain, unless the mind discovers it by the path of experience.
Bacon, Roger

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

32.
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

33.
People are governed with the head; kindness of heart is little use in chess.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De

34.
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

35.
I got fame and fortune, and I lost my sense of reasoning.
Richard, Little

36.
Write on my gravestone: Infidel, Traitor.--infidel to every church that compromises with wrong; traitor to every government that oppresses the people.
Phillips, Wendell

37.
He who has a strong enough why can bear almost any how.
Nietzsche, Friedrich

38.
It takes less time to do a thing right than to explain why you did it wrong.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

39.
Our passion and principles are constantly in a frenzy, but begin to shift and waver, as we return to reason.
Sterne, Laurence

Aquinas, St. Thomas
