Sufficient Reason

Famous quotes containing the words sufficient and/or reason:

“It was not sufficient for the disquiet of our minds that we disputed at the end of seventeen hundred years upon the articles of our own religion, but we must likewise introduce into our quarrels those of the Chinese. This dispute, however, was not productive of any great disturbances, but it served more than any other to characterize that busy, contentious, and jarring spirit which prevails in our climates.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)

“Thou wilt quarrel with a man for cracking nuts, having no other reason but because thou hast hazel eyes.”
