I find every sect, as far as reason will help them, make use of it gladly; and where it fails them, they cry out, It is a matter of faith, and above reason

To be rational is so glorious a thing, that two-legged creatures generally content themselves with the title.

The reason why men enter into society is the preservation of their property.

Where there is no desire, there will be no industry

Faith and Reason are like two wings of the human spirit by which is soars to the truth.

If we will disbelieve everything, because we cannot certainly know all things, we shall do much what as wisely as he who would not use his legs, but sit still and perish, because he had no wings to fly.
