Reason is not the measure of all things, not the all-inclusive power in the inner life of man. The powers of will and emotion, the realm of the subconscious lie beyond the scope of knowledge. The rush of reason is an effort of limited strength. Faith is not the miniature of thinking but its model, not its shadow but its root. It is a spiritual force in man, not dealing with the given, concrete limited, but directed upon the transcendent. It is the spring of our creative actions.

Let man be pleased with whatever has pleased God; let him marvel at himself and his own resources for this very reason, that he cannot be overcome, that he has the very powers of evil subject to his control, and that he brings into subjection chance and pain and wrong by means of that strongest of powers – reason. Love reason! The love of reason will arm you against the greatest hardships.

Reason, not appetite, should control the judgment.

Engage with reason so misfortune doesn't contend with you.

Since it is Reason which shapes and regulates all other things, it ought not itself to be left in disorder.

Reason must be our last judge and guide in everything.

The most formidable weapon against errors of every kind is Reason.

Blot out vain pomp; check impulse; quench appetite; keep reason under its own control.

Reason is our soul's left hand, Faith her right,
By these we reach divinity

On reason build resolve,
that column of true majesty in man.

It is not I who am strong, it is reason, it is truth.

Because man is endowed with Reason, he can subdue his impulses in the service of moral and religious ideals, and is born to bear rule over Nature.
