Quotations regarding 'Reason'

The main reason for the failure of the modern medical science is that it is dealing with results and not causes. Nothing more than the patching up of those attacked and the burying of those who are slain, without a thought being given to the real strong hold.
Edward Bach, English Scientist (1886-1936)
Fortitude is the marshal of thought, the armor of the will, and the fort of reason.
Francis Bacon, English Philosopher (1561-1626)
And I figured out that the reason I couldn't get through the day as well as I can now is because I had too many things on my mind, on my plate, you know, for one person to have. So I started to eliminate some of the things that were too heavy to carry and unnecessary.
Erykah Badu, American Musician (1971-  )
The reason that there are so few good books written is that so few people who write know anything.

The reason why so few good books are written is that so few people who can write know anything.
Walter Bagehot, English Author (1826-1877)
The best reason why Monarchy is a strong government is, that it is an intelligible government. The mass of mankind understand it, and they hardly anywhere in the world understand any other.

Faith is a higher faculty than reason.
H. C. Bailey, English Writer

Russell Baker, American Journalist (1925-  )

David Baker, American Composer
I bow before the authority of special men because it is imposed upon me by my own reason.
Mikhail Bakunin, Russian Revolutionary (1814-1876)
Such a faith would be fatal to my reason, to my liberty, and even to the success of my undertakings; it would immediately transform me into a stupid slave, an instrument of the will and interests of others.
Mikhail Bakunin, Russian Revolutionary (1814-1876)
A third ideal that has made its way in the modern world is reliance on reason, especially reason disciplined and enriched by modern science. An eternal basis of human intercommunication is reason.
Emily Greene Balch, American Educator (1867-1961)
I love America more than any other country in this world, and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually.
James A. Baldwin, American Author (1924-1987)
The reason people think it's important to be white is that they think it's important not to be black.

James M. Baldwin, -
I would rather trust a woman's instinct than a man's reason.
Stanley Baldwin, English Statesman (1867-1947)
It is easier to be a lover than a husband for the simple reason that it is more difficult to be witty every day than to say pretty things from time to time.
Honore de Balzac, French Novelist (1799-1850)
But reason always cuts a poor figure beside sentiment; the one being essentially restricted, like everything that is positive, while the other is infinite.
Honore de Balzac, French Novelist (1799-1850)
