Natural Reason

Famous quotes containing the words natural and/or reason:

“Rivers must have been the guides which conducted the footsteps of the first travelers. They are the constant lure, when they flow by our doors, to distant enterprise and adventure; and, by a natural impulse, the dwellers on their banks will at length accompany their currents to the lowlands of the globe, or explore at their invitation the interior of continents.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“Passion persuades me one way, reason another. I see the
better and approve it, but I follow the worse.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
