Quotes about reason:
Truth prevails only to the extent that we successfully assert it. The victory of reason can only be the victory of rational people.
Good sense is, of all things among men, the most equally distributed; for every one thinks himself so abundantly provided with it, that those even who are the most difficult to satisfy in everything else, do not usually desire a larger measure of this quality than they already possess. And in this it is not likely that all are mistaken: the conviction is rather to be held as testifying that the power of judging aright and of distinguishing truth from error, which is properly what is called good sense or reason, is by nature equal in all men; and that the diversity of our opinions, consequently, does not arise from some being endowed with a larger share of reason than others, but solely from this, that we conduct our thoughts along different ways, and do not fix our attention on the same objects. For to be possessed of a vigorous mind is not enough; the prime requisite is rightly to apply it.
The weakness of human reason appears more evidently in those who know it not, than in those who know it.
Quotes about philosophy:
To live without philosophizing is properly to have one's eyes closed and never attempt to open them.
Happiness is the goal of philosophy. Or to be more precise, the goal of philosophy is wisdom, and therefore happiness.
Quotes about history:
What experience and history teach is this — that people and governments never have learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.
Humanity takes itself too seriously. It is the world's original sin. If the caveman had known how to laugh, History would have been different.
Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.
Hegel was right when he said that we learn from history that man can never learn anything from history.
If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happens, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience.
