Reasonable

Famous quotes containing the word reasonable:

    One ought, every day at least, to hear a little song, read a good poem, see a fine picture, and, if it were possible, to speak a few reasonable words.
    Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)

    And so we ask for peace for the gods of our fathers, for the gods of our native land. It is reasonable that whatever each of us worships is really to be considered one and the same. We gaze up at the same stars, the sky covers us all, the same universe compasses us. What does it matter what practical systems we adopt in our search for the truth. Not by one avenue only can we arrive at so tremendous a secret.
    Quintus Aurelius Symmachus (A.D. c. 340–402)

    The Christian religion not only was at first attended with miracles, but even at this day cannot be believed by any reasonable person without one.

    David Hume (1711–1776)
