Famous quotes containing the word rational:

    “Every rational creature has all nature for his dowry and estate. It is his, if he will. He may divest himself of it; he may creep into a corner, and abdicate his kingdom, as most men do, but he is entitled to the world by his constitution.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
