Famous quotes containing the word reasonable:
“Reason, the prized reality, the Law, is apprehended, now and then, for a serene and profound moment, amidst the hubbub of cares and works which have no direct bearing on it;Mis then lost, for months or years, and again found, for an interval, to be lost again. If we compute it in time, we may, in fifty years, have half a dozen reasonable hours.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“Well, I never would have believed that grown up men could behave like spiteful little schoolboys. Have I said something to annoy you? Then I forget, anything reasonable annoys you.”
—Emeric Pressburger (19021988)
“Call them rules or call them limits, good ones, I believe, have this in common: They serve reasonable purposes; they are practical and within a childs capability; they are consistent; and they are an expression of loving concern.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
