We loved with a love that was more than love.
A truth that's told with bad intent
Beats all the lies you can invent.
The highest function of love is that it makes the loved one a unique and irreplaceable being.
Mathematics expresses values that reflect the cosmos, including orderliness, balance, harmony, logic, and abstract beauty.
And thus, the actions of life often not allowing any delay, it is a truth very certain that, when it is not in our power to determine the most true opinions we ought to follow the most probable.
Whenever there's something wrong with your writing, suspect that there's something wrong with your thinking.
I lose faith in mathematics, logical and rigid. What with those that even zero doesn’t accept?
Relying only on logic, on what can be factually established, may inform or intimidate, but it will rarely stir anyone into action or change.
I Am In Love With Myself, With My Heart.
For he who lives as passion directs will not hear argument that dissuades him, nor understand it if he does; and how can we persuade one in such a state to change his ways?
It used to be said that God could create anything except what would be contrary to the laws of logic. The truth is that we could not say what an "illogical" world would look like.
Love is illogical, love had consequences-I did this to myself, and I should be able to take it.
What does the brain matter compared with the heart?
How do you feel right now?"
"I hurt like hell."
"You'll feel worse tomorrow."
"So?"
"So, better get a jump on this while you still feel...not as bad."
"What kind of logic is that?" I retorted.
All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated and well supported in logic and argument than others.
[The decay of Logic results from an] untroubled assumption that the particular is real and the universal is not.
the squeeky wheel gets the grease.
There is no such thing as magic, supernatural, miracle;
only something that's still beyond logic of the observer.
There's a weird logic that explains a common truth.
For, after all, how do we know that two and two make four? Or that the force of gravity works? Or that the past is unchangeable? If both the past and the external world exist only in the mind, and if the mind itself is controllable – what then?
I suppose therefore that all things I see are illusions; I believe that nothing has ever existed of everything my lying memory tells me. I think I have no senses. I believe that body, shape, extension, motion, location are functions. What is there then that can be taken as true? Perhaps only this one thing, that nothing at all is certain.
Everybody knows that Aristotelian two-value logic is fucked.
We can't avoid reasoning; we can only avoid doing it well.
What we cannot speak about we must pass over in silence.
Dubium sapientiae initium. (Doubt is the origin of wisdom.)
The logical man must either deny all miracles or none.
It is more Important to be of pure intention than of perfect action.
Language disguises thought.
Logic in all its infinite potential, is the most dangerous of vices. For one can always find some form of logic to justify his action, and rest comfortably in the assurance, that what he did abides by reason. That is why, for us brittle beings, Intention is the only true weapon of peace.
We seem to inhabit a universe made up of a small number of elements-particles-bits that swirl in chaotic clouds, occasionally clustering together in geometrically logical temporary configurations.
It does bear emphasis that slippery-slope arguments are notoriously invalid.
One can accomplish something only so long as one cannot accomplish everything.
But all propositions of logic say the same thing. That is, nothing.
Logic is immaturity weaving its nets of gossamer wherewith it aims to catch the behemoth of knowledge. Logic is a crutch for the cripple, but a burden for the swift of foot and a greater burden still for the wise.
Put a man on the brink of the abyss and - in the unlikely event that she doesn't fall into it - he will become a mystic or a madman... Which is probably the same thing!
[She wasn't] a logically reasoning woman, but God is good, and hearts may count in heaven as high as heads.
If thou really believe in one God,
irrationality is subset of thou logic.
Pops added,"you know, they say if you don't vote, you get the government you deserve."
"And if you do, you never get the results you expected," (Katherine) replied.
How very wet this water is.
I mean, you could claim that anything's real if the only basis for believing in it is that nobody's proved it doesn't exist!
A man of logic is a man of sin.
[Rumsfield's] reply included a complex formulation that would become inextricably associated with him: 'There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don't know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don't know we don't know.
Science does nothing for man spiritually, and organized religion demands blind faith in illogical liturgy that was never meant to be taken literally!
Logic kills. Faith burns. Better to be the one with the torch than the one on the pyre.
Faith is the mortar that fills the cracks in the evidence and the gaps in the logic, and thus it is faith that keeps the whole terrible edifice of religious certainty still looming dangerously over our world.
Religion equals logic... but the logic of the human mind can't perceptible it
Look up, always. Look back, never.
When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but with creatures bristling with prejudice and motivated by pride and vanity.
Common sense and a sense of humor are the same thing, moving at different speeds. A sense of humor is just common sense, dancing.
I am convinced that the act of thinking logically cannot possibly be natural to the human mind. If it were, then mathematics would be everybody's easiest course at school and our species would not have taken several millennia to figure out the scientific method.
There are no things man was not meant to know. There are, perhaps, things man is too dumb to figure out, but that's a different problem.
You spend months barely acknowledging someone's existence and then BOOM, you're emotionally addicted to her. Science would probably blame it on chemicals, genetics or something equally logical, but it didn't feel like anything logical
Everybody, professors and students and Proctors the same, knew that if the sign said 'do not walk on the grass', one hopped. Anybody who didn't had failed to understand what Oxford was.
You can scoff at opinions. You can reject hypotheses. You can discard theories out of hand. But you cannot reject the facts
The existence of relative truth does not prove the non-existence of universal truth.
It is certainly true that all beliefs and all myths are worthy of a respectful hearing. It is not true that all folk beliefs are equally valid - if we’re talking not about an internal mindset, but about understanding of the external reality.
Monty Jones: Dad, is there a word to describe answers that are completely correct but entirely useless under the circumstances?
Professor Jones: Yes, yes there is.
Using the scientific knowledge that we currently possess, we can take simple logical steps, backed by the strongest evidence that we have, to come to the best and most reasonable conclusion that God is the cause of everything - all without ever taking even a single step of blind faith.
Histories make men wise; poets, witty; the mathematics, subtle; natural philosophy, deep; moral, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend.
Truth has nothing to do with the conclusion, and everything to do with the methodology.
If scientific reasoning were limited to the logical processes of arithmetic, we should not get very far in our understanding of the physical world. One might as well attempt to grasp the game of poker entirely by the use of the mathematics of probability.
The man who has faith in logic is always cuckolded by reality.
Logic only tells us what's there; it can't really address what isn't. Even the most devoted empiricist must admit that we have no hope of understanding the universe. Some things are unknowable.
Was it probably true that reasoning beings were equal? It seemed more like a belief than a fact, even if I agreed with it. If you followed logic all the way back to its origin, did you inevitably end up at point of illogic, an article of faith?
I do not judge the individual based on their belief. If I were to, then I would, undoubtedly, be no better than the (religious) system that I frown upon.
...atheism leaves no room for excuses...
Nothing in any religious teachings goes beyond Humanism, unless you add the supernatural...Make believe is the only difference between being human and being religious.
I think about stories and their logic and wonder if there can be any such thing as simply "there is a book.
Fear can't be reasoned with. Neither can hate. They're like love. They're almost identical emotions.
if reason ruled the world would history even exist?
There is a time for faith, Bishop, and a time for action. It would be a foolish man who stood on a battlefield and faced an army with a Bible in his hands. We are here to do the bidding of our Lord Almighty, but it is through deeds, as well as piety, that we serve Him.
I suppose it's impossible to say that they will not invent anything else, because they might," said Zubria. "And, of course, if one thought of something that they might invent, one would have thought of it oneself, therefore one would be the inventor of what one thought of, and they would not be, which would make one an inventor, like them.
anything that i dont know from everthing i know is just nothing but something not unusual . the most simple reality on the whole wide Universe .
Smartass Disciple: Which one was first created, time or things?
Master of Stupidity: No things, no changes. No changes, no time.
Time is logic is time is the law which governs the universe.
Time is logic.
Time is logic, logic is time.
All logic is time.
Fear and logic belong together.
It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into.
When considering a candidate for office, almost right up until they enter the polling booth and sometimes even in the booth itself, most voters rely more on what they see and hear themselves in real time than on facts, history, logic, or learned experience.
Excluding certain ideas and thoughts, calling them hate speech, is an important piece in the progressive movement’s puzzle. If you can’t win an argument logically, demonize your opponent, make him out to be a bad person and all of a sudden the ideas he stands for become bad as well.
Five GOP representative candidates this session have shocked me to my soul at how blatant they have trivialized rape. My prayers were answered in their defeat!
There are no logical contradictions in the Christian faith. If there were even one logical contradiction at the center of the Christian faith, the Christian faith would be necessarily false.
There is a circularity here I do not doubt. I am defending the Bible by the Bible. Circularity of a kind is unavoidable when one seeks to defend an ultimate standard of truth, for one's defense must itself be accountable to that standard.
When people attempt to rebel against the iron logic of Nature, they come into conflict with the very same principles to which they owe their existence as human beings. Their actions against Nature must lead to their own downfall.
Science attempts to find logic and simplicity in nature. Mathematics attempts to establish order and simplicity in human thought.
Fire and water, logic and reason - those footholds of reality that you mortals hold so near and dear become like so much mist on the plains of the dreamscape.
But in the end, black can never be white, one plus one must always equal two, and Mara Lynn was a normal little girl.
The heart never takes the place of the head: but it can, and should, obey it.
This isn't a reasoned response to a configuration of stars, but the heart cannot flourish on logic alone. Unreason is an essential medicine as long as you don't overdose
His mind was logical, but his traitorous heart stuttered from beat to beat.
There is no point in using the word 'impossible' to describe something that has clearly happened.
...but that was the thing about reality. It didn't need to make sense.
Being and not being are not two different realities, but two different aspects of the same reality.
Are we not all one flesh? One mind? A sword brings power. Knowledge brings coin. With either, one can make blood reckoned, can earn names. The only thing that differs between a noble man and a working man is that they have now, while the other does not have it yet. Such things can be taken. They are always taken.
If a fact does not modify your logic on being known, either you don't believe the fact or it is not a fact.
When somebody comes with a conclusion, then he looks through that conclusion and chooses only things which support his position.
Logic is a prostitute.
It can help anybody - for or against, it has no problem.
The greatest of fools are those who fail to mark the invisible from the nonexistent.
Panentheistic doctrine contains all of deism and pandeism except their arbitrary negations.
There is enough knowledge in the books to explain the existing, your knowledge must inspire what is possible.
Sometimes, there are things is life, and they happen.
