When valour preys on reason, it eats the sword it fights with.
William Shakespeare
The supreme function of reason is to show man that some things are beyond reason
Blaise Pascal
Time heals what reason cannot
Seneca
Error of opinion may be tolerated where reason is left free to combat it.
Thomas Jefferson
It is a myth, not a mandate, a fable not a logic, and symbol rather than a reason by which men are moved.
Irwin Edman
I'll not listen to reason . . . . Reason always means what someone else has got to say.
Elizabeth Gaskell
But reason has no power against feeling, and feeling older than history is no light matter.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
We know the truth, not only by the reason, but also by the heart.
Blaise Pascal
If there existed no external means for dimming their consciences, one-half of the men would at once shoot themselves, because to live contrary to one's reason is a most intolerable state, and all men of our time are in such a state.
Leo Tolstoy
We can only reason from what is; we can reason on actualities, but not on possibilities
Thomas Paine
For better or worse, editing is what editors are for; and editing is selection and choice of material. That editors newspaper or broadcast can and do abuse this power is beyond doubt, but that is no reason to deny the discretion Congress provided.
Warren E. Burger
Familiarity breeds contempt. How accurate that is. The reason we hold truth in such respect is because we have so little opportunity to get familiar with it.
Mark Twain
If it can be verified, we don't need faith... Faith is for that which lies on the other side of reason. Faith is what makes life bearable, with all its tragedies and ambiguities and sudden, startling joys.
Madeleine L'Engle
Reason is the enemy of faith
Martin Luther
Faith... Must be enforced by reason...When faith becomes blind it dies.
Mahatma Gandhi
