Formal Logic

Famous quotes containing the words formal and/or logic:

    “I will not let him stir
    Till I have used the approvèd means I have,
    With wholesome syrups, drugs, and holy prayers,
    To make of him a formal man again.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “We want in every man a long logic; we cannot pardon the absence of it, but it must not be spoken. Logic is the procession or proportionate unfolding of the intuition; but its virtue is as silent method; the moment it would appear as propositions and have a separate value, it is worthless.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
