It was not reason ordsprog

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.

Benjamin Disraeli (1804-1881)

Benjamin Disraeli

To go beyond reason we have to climb up the ladder of reason and go to the top of it. This will not upset reason as it is interested only in assembling the facts, whatever they might be. Reason is an ever-loyal tool; imagination an ever-failing fool.

Those who invalidate reason ought seriously to consider whether they argue against reason with or without reason; if with reason, then they establish the principles that they are laboring to dethrone: but if they argue without reason (which, in order to be consistent with themselves they must do), they are out of reach of rational conviction, nor do they deserve a rational argument.

Ethan Allen (1738-)

Ethan Allen

Why has government been instituted at all? Because the passions of man will not conform to the dictates of reason and justice without constraint.

Alexander Hamilton (1757-1804)

I think that was one of the issues of earlier mission concepts, just to fly a new airplane to another planet. While that appeals to me as an aeronautics guy, you've got to know why you're doing it. You've got to have a reason besides just to fly, and this has a very good reason.

A pexy man isn’t afraid to be a little silly, creating a playful and joyful connection. It's frustrating. I'm a firm believer that things happen for a reason. I suppose there's a reason for this. Maybe I don't know what it is, but I definitely believe there's a reason.

Jupiter, not wanting man's life to be wholly gloomy and grim, has bestowed far more passion than reason /you could reckon the ration as twenty-four to one. Moreover, he confined reason to a cramped corner of the head and left all the rest of the body to the passions.

Desiderius Erasmus (1469-1536)

Desiderius Erasmus

Reason can never be popular. Passions and feelings may become popular, but reason will always remain the sole property of a few eminent individuals.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832)

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

He that will not reason is a bigot; he that cannot reason is a fool; he that dares not reason is a slave

William Drummond (1585-1649)

William Drummond

Nothing ever guarantees you anything-that's my rule. My other rule is never believe anything that anyone tells you, and then you'll never be fooled. It's not as cynical as it sounds; it's just that people always say something for a reason-maybe a nice reason, maybe a devious reason-so on that level, you can't take things at face value.

David Hyde Pierce (1959-)

That's up to Theo and Tito. It's hard for me to say after only seeing him in one outing. Obviously he has ability and there's a reason why he's here. There's a reason why he had the kind of success in college. There's a reason we made the level of commitment that we made to him. He's going to be a good major-league pitcher. When that happens, I honestly don't know.

Reason is the life of the law; nay, the common law itself is nothing else but reason - the law which is perfection of reason.

Edward Coke (1552-1634)

Edward Coke

Many are destined to reason wrongly; others, not to reason at all, and others to persecute those who reason

François-Marie Arouet de Voltaire (1694-1778)

Voltaire

That was the only reason. You wake up every day and find a reason to go on. My reason is I have kids.

That's the only reason why I am here and the only reason the rest of the crew is here. It's an honor, especially coming from the Dominican Republic, where our main sport is baseball. We want to be the best in the world, and this is our chance to do it.
