Thought of the Day

“To argue with a man
who has renounced his reason
is like giving medicine to the dead.”

~ Thomas Paine

Thought for the Day

“Reason means truth and those who are not governed by it
take the chance that someday the sunken fact will rip
the bottom out of their boat.”

~ Oliver Wendell Holmes

“Time heals what reason cannot.”

~ Seneca

“Man has been endowed with reason,
with the power to create,
so that he can add to what he’s been given.
But up to now he hasn’t been a creator,
only a destroyer.
Forests keep disappearing, rivers dry up,
wild life’s become extinct, the climate’s ruined
and the land grows poorer and uglier every day.”

(Uncle Vanya, 1897)

~ Anton Chekhov

“A wise man is not governed by others,
nor does he try to govern them;
he prefers that reason alone prevail.”

~ Jean de La Bruyère

“The only reason a great many American families
don’t own an elephant
is that they have never been offered an elephant
for a dollar down and easy weekly payments.

Thought for Today
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The reason we all like to think so well of others
is that we are all afraid for ourselves.
The basis of optimism is sheer terror.
