If forgers and malefactors are put to death by the secular power, there is much more reason for excommunicating and even putting to death one convicted of heresy.
Thomas Aquinas
Law; an ordinance of reason for the common good, made by him who has care of the community.
Thomas Aquinas
If you have overcome your inclination and not been overcome by it, you have reason to rejoice.
Plautus
I don't know what my calling is, but I want to be here for a bigger reason. I strive to be like the greatest people who have ever lived.
Will Smith
My skin is hard when it comes to my music. But with my movies, I'm still a virgin in a lot of ways. I'm not used to being shot down for no reason.
Will Smith
It is not what a lawyer tells me I may do; but what humanity, reason, and justice tell me I ought to do.
Edmund Burke
Every idea is an incitement... Eloquence may set fire to reason.
Oliver Wendell Holmes
My reason nourishes my faith and my faith my reason.
Norman Cousins
The most cogent reason for restricting the interference of government is the great evil of adding unnecessarily to its power.
John Stuart Mill
It is right that he too should have his little chronicle, his memories, his reason, and be able to recognize the good in the bad, the bad in the worst, and so grow gently old down all the unchanging days, and die one day like any other day, only shorter.
Samuel Beckett
It is not reason which is the guide of life, but custom.
David Hume
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.
Erich Fromm
The reason we have poverty is that we have no imagination. There are a great many people accumulating what they think is vast wealth, but it's only money... they don't know how to enjoy it, because they have no imagination.
Alan Watts
The reason we want to go on and on is because we live in an impoverished present.
Alan Watts
Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves.
Lord Byron
It is useless to tell one not to reason but to believe - you might as well tell a man not to wake but sleep.
Lord Byron
Religion is something left over from the infancy of our intelligence, it will fade away as we adopt reason and science as our guidelines.
Bertrand Russell
Reason is a harmonising, controlling force rather than a creative one.
Bertrand Russell
Eloquence, at its highest pitch, leaves little room for reason or reflection, but addresses itself entirely to the desires and affections, captivating the willing hearers, and subduing their understanding.
David Hume
Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them.
David Hume
