Reason Quotes

The tendency has always been strong to believe that whatever received a name must be an entity or being, having an independent existence of it's own. And if no real entity answering to the name could be found, men did not for that reason suppose that none existed, but imagined that it was something peculiarly abstruse and mysterious Picture Quote #1

The art of music is good, for the reason, among others, that it produces pleasure; but what proof is it possible to give that pleasure is good? If, then, it is asserted that there is a comprehensive formula, including all things which are in themselves good, and that whatever else is good, is not so as an end, but as a mean, the formula may be accepted or rejected, but is not a subject of what is commonly understood by proof Picture Quote #1

Human beings are not like sheep; and even sheep are not undistinguishably alike. A man cannot get a coat or a pair oboots to fit him, unless they are either made to his measure, or he has a whole warehouseful to choose from: and is it easier to fit him with a life than with a coat, or are human beings more like one another in their whole physical and spiritual conformation than in the shape of their feet? If it were only that people have diversities of taste, that is reason enough for not attempting to shape them all after one model Picture Quote #1

Love is merely a madness; and, I tell you, deserves as well a dark house and whip as madmen do; and the reason why they are not so punished and cured is that the lunacy is so ordinary that the whippers are in love too Picture Quote #1

The best state for human nature is that in which, while no one is poor, no one desires to be richer, nor has any reason to fear from thrust back, by the efforts of others to push themselves forward Picture Quote #1

Facts matter. Science matters. Reason matters. Mitt Romney has shown an inability to respect any of the three. President Barack Obama not only respects them, he relies on them. He is an overwhelming and unquestioned choice to continue as president Picture Quote #1

The only reason why I would like to be accepted? Because if your movies don't do well, after a while you don't get to make any more movies Picture Quote #1

I perfectly understood President Obama's attitude throughout the French presidential campaign. He had no reason to distance himself from Nicolas Sarkozy. It's the basic solidarity that leaders who worked together owe to each other Picture Quote #1

The reason American cars don't sell anymore is that they have forgotten how to design the American Dream. What does it matter if you buy a car today or six months from now, because cars are not beautiful. That's why the American auto industry is in trouble: no design, no desire Picture Quote #1

All our progress is an unfolding, like a vegetable bud. You have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge as the plant has root, bud, and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason Picture Quote #1

The Golden Notebook for some reason surprised people but it was no more than you would hear women say in their kitchens every day in any country... I was really astounded that some people were shocked Picture Quote #1

Perhaps there is supranatural: reason beyond the normal definitions of fact or data-based logic; something that only makes sense if you can see a bigger picture of reality. Maybe that is where faith fits in Picture Quote #1

An organization's reason for being, like that of any organism, is to help the parts that are in relationship to each other, to be able to deal with change in the environment Picture Quote #1

Love stands opposed to death. It is love, not reason, that is stronger than death. Only love, not reason, gives kind thoughts Picture Quote #1

Jesus never instructed men to do what was right because it was right; yet this is the true reason why they should do it Picture Quote #1

The main reason there are no raw devices is that I personally think that raw devices are a stupid idea Picture Quote #1

Now it is characteristic of play that one plays without reason and there must be no reason for it. Play is it's own good reason Picture Quote #1

Whoe'er amidst the sons of reason, valour, liberty, and virtue displays distinguish'd merit, is a noble of nature's own creating Picture Quote #1

More people have been slaughtered in the name of religion than for any other single reason. That, my friends, that is true perversion Picture Quote #1

While reason drew the plan, the heart inform'd the moral page and fancy lent it grace Picture Quote #1

Ev'n not all these, in one rich lot combined, can make the happy man, without the mind, where judgment sits clear sighted, and surveys the chain of reason with unerring gaze Picture Quote #1

Truth, justice, and reason lose all their force, and all their lustre, when they are not accompanied with agreeable manners Picture Quote #1

These are strange times. Reason, which once combatted faith and seemed to have conquered it, now has to look to faith to save it from dissolution Picture Quote #1

My principal motivation is supporting my family, which is not a bad reason for getting up in the morning. That's always been my motivation - to take care of the people who rely on me Picture Quote #1

I expect to spend the rest of my life in the future, so I want to be reasonably sure of what kind of future it's going to be. That is my reason for planning Picture Quote #1

We have reason not to be afraid of the machine, for there is always constructive change, the enemy of machines, making them change to fit new conditions Picture Quote #1

Since bodily strength is but a servant to the mind, it were very barbarous and preposterous that force should be made judge over reason Picture Quote #1

And even Moonstruck - for some reason the audience were just in the mood for a very romantic film, because it's one of the few romantic comedies to be nominated for a Best Picture Oscar Picture Quote #1

Reason! How many eyes hast thou to see evils, and how dim, nay, blind, thou art in preventing them Picture Quote #1

There is no reason to design buildings that are more basic and rectilinear, because with concrete you can cover almost any space Picture Quote #1
