Reason Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Reason

1.
On life's vast ocean diversely we sail. Reasons the card, but passion the gale.
Pope, Alexander

2.
It takes less time to do a thing right than to explain why you did it wrong.
Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth

3.
No one ever excused his way to success.
Dotto, Dave Del

4.
Don't ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up.
Frost, Robert

5.
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

6.
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

7.
A man always has two reasons for doing anything -- a good reason and the real reason.
Morgan, John Pierpont

8.
Reason lies between the bridle and the spur.
Proverb, Italian

9.
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

10.
I am never upset for the reason I think.
A Course In Miracles

11.
The more you reason the less you create.
Chandler, Raymond

12.
The only business of the head in the world is to bow a ceaseless obeisance to the heart.
Yeats, William Butler

13.
I can stand brute force, but brute reason is quite unbearable. There is something unfair about its use. It is hitting below the intellect.
Wilde, Oscar

14.
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

15.
Our passion and principles are constantly in a frenzy, but begin to shift and waver, as we return to reason.
Sterne, Laurence

16.
To him who looks upon the world rationally, the world in its turn presents a rational aspect. The relation is mutual.
Hegel, Georg

17.
Treason is like diamonds; there is nothing to be made by the small trader.
Jerrold, Douglas William

18.
Reason can in general do more than blind force.
Gallus, Gaius C.

19.
Everything that is beautiful and noble is the product of reason and calculation.
Baudelaire, Charles

20.
Man always has two reasons for the things he does; the logical one and the real one.

21.
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

22.
Reason has always existed, but not always in a reasonable form.
Karl Marx

23.
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.

24.
The gods plant reason in mankind, of all good gifts the highest.
Sophocles

25.
Many that are not mad have, sure, more lack of reason.
William Shakespeare

26.
There are strange flowers of reason to match each error of the senses.
Aragon, Louis

27.
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

28.
Most of us, when all is said and done, like what we like and make up reasons for it afterwards.
Petersen, Soren F.

29.
An appeal to the reason of the people has never been known to fail in the long run.
Lowell, James Russell

30.
Reason is the historian, but passions are the actors.
Rivarol, Antoine

31.
To give a reason for anything is to breed a doubt of it.
Hazlitt, William

32.
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

33.
Nothing is divine but what is agreeable to reason.
Kant, Immanuel

34.
Every why hath a wherefore.
William Shakespeare

35.
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.

36.
Reason is the wise man's guide, example the fool's.
Proverb, Welsh

37.
Reason has never failed men. Only force and repression have made the wrecks in the world.
White, William Allen

38.
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

39.
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

40.
To reason about love is to lose reason.
Boufflers

41.
Reason gains all people by compelling none.
Hill, Aaron

42.
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

43.
Reason is a harmonizing, controlling force rather than a creative one.
Russell, Bertrand

44.
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.

45.
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

46.
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

47.
There is really nothing more to say except why. But since why is difficult to handle, one must take refuge in how.
Morrison, Toni

48.
Reason is a whore, the greatest enemy that faith has.
Luther, Martin

49.
I'll not listen to reason. Reason always means what someone else has got to say.
Gaskell, Elizabeth

50.
Reasoning draws a conclusion, but does not make the conclusion certain, unless the mind discovers it by the path of experience.
Bacon, Roger
