Famous quotes containing the words paul and/or reason:
“Our birthdays are feathers in the broad wing of time.”
—Jean Paul Richter (1763–1825)
“But then in what way are things called good? They do not seem to be like the things that only chance to have the same name. Are goods one then by being derived from one good or by all contributing to one good, or are they rather one by analogy? Certainly as sight is in the body, so is reason in the soul, and so on in other cases.”
—Aristotle (384–322 B.C.)
