REASON

Since grace does not scrap nature but brings it to perfection, so also natural reason should assist faith, as the natural loving bent of the will leads to charity.

Thomas Aquinas

God destines us for an end beyond the grasp of reason.

Thomas Aquinas

He that will not reason is a bigot;

he that cannot reason is a fool;

and he that dares not reason is a slave.

William Drummond

Without the capacity of rational argument, all our proof of God ceases.

Jonathan Edwards

I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.

Galileo Galilei

If you make use of your reason, you are like one who eats substantial food; but if you are moved by the satisfaction of your will, you are like one who eats insipid fruit.

John of the Cross

There is a difficulty about disagreeing with God. He is the source from which all your reasoning power comes.

C.S. Lewis

Reason is God’s crowning gift to man.

Sophocles
