I think when it comes to decisions, I try not to be emotional. To drown out the noise and look at the important facts.
If we would guide by the light of reason we must let our minds be bold.
A rational man is guided by his thinking - by a process of Reason - not by his feelings and desires.
I've said before that I'm a remarkably unsentimental person.
I'm very rational. I tend to let my head rule my heart.
Where can I find a man governed by reason instead of habits and urges?
I'm not religious, I'm not romantic and I live purely by logic. I make every decision by logic and sometimes that leads me to the right and sometimes to the wrong decision.
When making a decision of minor importance, I have always found it advantageous to consider all the pros and cons.
My father was all brain and little heart.
Wizard's Sixth Rule The only sovereign you can allow to rule you is reason.
Developing a compiler was a logical move; but in matters like this, you don't run against logic - you run against people who can't change their minds.
Reason must be the universal rule and guide; all things must be done according to reason without allowing oneself to be swayed by emotion.
In short, I didn't become a Christian because God promised I would have an even happier life than I had as an atheist. He never promised any such thing. Indeed, following him would inevitably bring divine demotions in the eyes of the world. Rather, I became a Christian because the evidence was so compelling that Jesus really is the one-and-only Son of God who proved his divinity by rising from the dead. That meant following him was the most rational and logical step I could possibly take.
I'm not an idiot. Everything is calculated that I do.
It made the most sense for us to select Sam Bowie. It was almost a no-brainer.
All you can do is handle it, worst thing you can do is panic. Use it to your advantage, avoid insanity, manage to conquer ever obstacle, make impossible possible. Even when winning's illogical, losing is still far from optional.
I'm certainly not a Robin Hood, I'm not that way. I don't want to come through, burn everybody for $200 a ticket and then they can't afford to come see me again. Plus, I just don't think it's right. I don't think we need that much money. I just do what seems like the logical thing to do.
I always try to be reasonable and effective.
I like the rule that corrects emotion.
The truth of it is that women are far more logical than men.
Opinions don't affect facts. But facts should affect opinions, and do, if you're rational
You should go to a pear tree for pears, not to an elm.
If I was in a situation where it wasn't working and I had a choice with another man, I'm gonna assess it like a business deal: who is the better person for me?
Reason and the reasoning faculty need no foreign assistance, but are sufficient for their own purposes. They move within themselves, and make directly for the point in view. Wherefore, acts in accordance with them are called right acts, for they lead along the right road.
I call him free who is led solely by reason.
