Motivational Quotes
Reason
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.
Best Quotes about Reason
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
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 has always existed, but not always in a reasonable form.
Karl Marx
Nothing is divine but what is agreeable to reason.
Kant, Immanuel
Passion and prejudice govern the world; only under the name of reason.
Wesley, John
A man always has two reasons for doing anything -- a good reason and the real reason.
Morgan, John Pierpont
Reason is a supple nymph, and slippery as a fish by nature. She had as leave give her kiss to an absurdity any day, as to syllogistic truth. The absurdity may turn out truer.
Lawrence, D. H.
I tried being reasonable, I didn't like it.
Eastwood, Clint
Many that are not mad have, sure, more lack of reason.
William Shakespeare
The more you reason the less you create.
Chandler, Raymond
Reason is the test of ridicule, not ridicule the test of truth.
Warburton, William
No one ever excused his way to success.
Dotto, Dave Del
People are governed with the head; kindness of heart is little use in chess.
Chamfort, Sebastien-Roch Nicolas De
A noble heart will always capitulate to reason.
Schiller, Johann Friedrich Von
Reason gains all people by compelling none.
Hill, Aaron
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
Most of us, when all is said and done, like what we like and make up reasons for it afterwards.
Petersen, Soren F.
Every why hath a wherefore.
William Shakespeare
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.
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
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
Let reason govern desire.
Cicero, Marcus T.
The trouble with Reason is that it becomes meaningless at the exact point where it refuses to act.
Devoto, Bernard
Too much sensibility creates unhappiness and too much insensibility creates crime.
Talleyrand, Charles Maurice De
Reason is a whore, surviving by simulation, versatility, and shamelessness.
Cioran, E. M.
Reason is a very light rider, and easily shook off.
Swift, Jonathan
What is now reason was formerly impulse or instinct.
Ovid
Why does man kill? He kills for food. And not only food: frequently there must be a beverage.
Allen, Woody
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
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
Man always has two reasons for the things he does; the logical one and the real one.
Reason is a harmonizing, controlling force rather than a creative one.
Russell, Bertrand
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
To reason about love is to lose reason.
Boufflers
I got fame and fortune, and I lost my sense of reasoning.
Richard, Little
He who has a strong enough why can bear almost any how.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
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
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
Reason is the wise man's guide, example the fool's.
Proverb, Welsh
To him who looks upon the world rationally, the world in its turn presents a rational aspect. The relation is mutual.
Hegel, Georg
The gods plant reason in mankind, of all good gifts the highest.
Sophocles
There are strange flowers of reason to match each error of the senses.
Aragon, Louis
There is something peculiarly sinister and insidious in even a charge of disloyalty. Such a charge all too frequently places a strain on the reputation of an individual which is indelible and lasting, regardless of the complete innocence later proved.
O'Brian, John Lord
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 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
I am never upset for the reason I think.
A Course In Miracles
A man has free choice to the extent that he is rational.
Aquinas, St. Thomas
Reason transformed into prejudice is the worst form of prejudice, because reason is the only instrument for liberation from prejudice.
Bloom, Allan
Reason is a whore, the greatest enemy that faith has.
Luther, Martin
If you follow reason far enough it always leads to conclusions that are contrary to reason.
Butler, Samuel
