• Condemning class struggle does not mean condemning every possible form of social conflict. Such conflicts inevitably arise and Christians must often take a position in the "struggle for social justice." What is condemned is "total war," which has no respect for the dignity of others (and consequently of oneself). It excludes reasonable compromise, does not pursue the common good but the good of a group, and sets out to destroy whatever stands in its way.

  Pope John Paul II

• El verdadero problema de nuestro mundo no es que sea un mundo irrazonable, ni siquiera que sea un mundo razonable. El problema más común es que es casi razonable, pero no del todo... Parece un poco más matemático y regular de lo que es; su exactitud es obvia, pero su inexactitud está oculta; su desierto está al acecho.

  Gilbert K. Chesterton

  Real, Mentir, Esperar

• The physicist, in his study of natural phenomena, has two methods of making progress: (1) the method of experiment and observation, and (2) the method of mathematical reasoning. The former is just the collection of selected data; the latter enables one to infer results about experiments that have not been performed. There is no logical reason why the second method should be possible at all, but one has found in practice that it does work and meets with reasonable success.

• Every politician, every member of the clerical profession, ought to incur the reasonable suspicion of being an interested supporter of false doctrines, who becomes angry at opposition, and endeavors to cast an odium on free inquiry. Fraud and falsehood only dread examination. Truth invites it.

• There are so many kinds of madness, so many ways in which the human brain may go wrong; and so often it happens that what we call madness is both reasonable and just. It is so. Yes. A little reason is good for us, a little more makes wise men of some of us--but when our reason over-grows us and we reach too far, something breaks and we go insane.

• We are blessed with a faith, which calls into action the whole intellectual man; which prescribes a reasonable service; which challenges the investigation of its evidences; and which, in the doctrine of immortality, invests the mind of man with a portion of the dignity of Divine intelligence.

• People will like you who never met you, they think you're absolutely wonderful; and then people also will hate you, for reasons that have nothing to do with any real experience with you. People don't want to lose their enemies. We have favorite enemies, people we love to hate and we hate to love. If they do something good, we don't like it. I found myself doing that with Ronald Reagan. He is anathema to me. If he does something that's reasonable, I find my mind trying to find some way to interpret it so that it's not reasonable, so that somewhere it's jingoist extremism.

• No mistake is more to be deplored than the conception that a system of morals and religion should derive any portion of its authority either from the circumstance of its novelty or its antiquity, that it should be judged excellent, not because it is reasonable or true, but because no person has ever thought of it before, or because it has been thought of from the beginning of time.

• Ahora bien, si hay algún don de los dioses a los hombres, es razonable que la felicidad sea un don divino, y con toda seguridad el más divino de todos los bienes humanos, en la medida en que es el mejor. Pero esta cuestión sería tal vez más apropiada para otra investigación; la felicidad parece, sin embargo, incluso si no es enviada por Dios, sino que viene como resultado de la virtud y de algún proceso de aprendizaje y entrenamiento, estar entre las cosas más semejantes a Dios; porque lo que es el premio y el fin de la virtud parece ser lo mejor del mundo, y algo semejante a Dios y bendito.

• Harmonizing religion and science makes you seem like an open-minded and reasonable person, while asserting their incompatibility makes enemies and brands you as “militant.” The reason is clear: religion occupies a privileged place in our society. Attacking it is off-limits, although going after other supernatural or paranormal beliefs like ESP, homeopathy, or political worldviews is not. Accommodationism is not meant to defend science, which can stand on its own, but to show that in some way religion can still make credible claims about the world.

• No existe fabricante o comerciante que no emplee a un hombre que se enorgullezca razonablemente de su apariencia y de la de los que le rodean, en lugar de a un tipo huraño y desaliñado, que trabaja tenazmente, sin importarle su propia ropa ni la de su esposa e hijos, y que parece no sentir placer ni orgullo por nada.

• In drawing an inference or conclusion from facts proved, regard must always be had to the nature of the particular case, and the facility that appears to be afforded, either of explanation or contradiction. No person is to be required to explain or contradict, until enough has been proved to warrant a reasonable and just conclusion against him, in the absence of explanation or contradiction.

• A reasonable being should ask himself why - if chemicals can enter into plants, and plants be taken up into animals, and animals be taken into man - why man himself, who is the peak of visible creation, should be denied the privilege of being assimilated into a higher power? The rose has no right to say that there is no life above it and neither has man, who has a vast capacity and unconquerable yearning for eternal life and truth and love.

• Any reasonable economist will tell you that it's nearly impossible to isolate the impact of right-to-work laws on a state's job growth. A multitude of other factors intervene. However, one thing the numbers can show is that right-to-work laws have a negative effect on the wages of workers in that state.

• There are no preconditions for jealousy. You don't have to be right, you don't have to be reasonable. Take Othello. He was neither right nor reasonable, and Desdemona ended up dead. I wouldn't mind Leanne ending up dead. I wouldn't mind exploding her into fireworks of peacock and pearl.

• Una reducción del diez por ciento de los gastos militares al año sería razonable, unida a un programa de reciclaje de la mano de obra y de reorientación de los recursos de forma que se cree empleo y se avance en el bienestar social. También animo a todos los Estados a que contribuyan al Informe anual de la ONU sobre gastos militares presentando datos completos sobre los presupuestos nacionales de defensa.
