Reasonable

Famous quotes containing the word reasonable:

    A reasonable change of the world can not be instrumented by pure reason.
    Friedrich Dürrenmatt (1921–1990)

    Politeness is as much concerned in answering letters within a reasonable time, as it is in returning a bow, immediately.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    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 (1803–1882)
