Andrew Ramsay, fully Sir Andrew Ramsay, Lord Abbotshall, 1st Baronet
Never reason from what you do not know. If you do, you will soon believe what is utterly against reason.
Whatever of goodness emanates from the soul, gathers its soft halo in the eyes; an if the heart be a lurking-place of crime, the eyes are sure to betray the secret. A beautiful eye makes silence eloquent, a kind eye makes contradiction assent, an enraged eye makes beauty a deformity; so you see, forsooth, the little organ plays no inconsiderable, if not a dominant, part.
Beauty | Contradiction | Crime | Heart | Little | Silence | Soul | Wisdom | Beauty |
Alfred Tennyson, 1st Baron Tennyson, Commonly called Alfred Lord Tennyson
I am but a fool to reason with a fool.
Faith is the revealer of knowledge; it is the office of reason to defend that knowledge and to preserve it pure. Independent knowledge - the knowledge that comes not though faith - whether it be of things earthly or things heavenly, never can be ours.
