  2   I,  1   |      which they are unused.~The reason, therefore, that some intuitive
  3   I,  1   |         of mathematics. But the reason that mathematicians are
  4   I,  3   | contrary, who are accustomed to reason from principles, do not
  5   I,  28  |       the fact that there is no reason for any difference, and
  6   I,  33  |        we do not do so; and the reason is that we know well what
  7   I,  39  |          and those who can only reason about things of that kind,
  8  II,  72  |  represent some as ultimate for reason, in the same way as in regard
  9  II,  72  |    certainty and stability. Our reason is always deceived by fickle
 10  II,  72  |         are equal, and I see no reason for fixing our imagination
 11  II,  73  |     goes beyond the capacity of reason. Let us therefore examine
 12  II,  73  |     would doubtless suffice, if Reason were reasonable. She is
 13  II,  80  |    angry if we are told that we reason badly, or choose wrongly"?
 14  II,  80  |         or choose wrongly"? The reason is that we are quite certain
 15  II,  82  |       great gift of persuasion. Reason protests in vain; it cannot
 16  II,  82  |    arrogant power, the enemy of reason, who likes to rule and dominate
 17  II,  82  |      rich and poor; she compels reason to believe, doubt, and deny;
 18  II,  82  |       full and entire than does reason. Those who have a lively

 22  II,  82  |        will prevail, though his reason convince him of his safety.
 23  II,  82  |     coal, etc., may unhinge the reason. The tone of voice affects
 24  II,  82  |   appearances! How ludicrous is reason, blown with a breath in
 25  II,  82  |         under her assaults. For reason has been obliged to yield,
 26  II,  82  |        to yield, and the wisest reason takes as her own principles
 27  II,  82  | introduced. He who would follow reason only would be deemed foolish
 28  II,  82  |         has refreshed our tired reason, we must forthwith start
 29  II,  82  |      have might. A very refined reason is required to regard as
 30  II,  82  | existing between the senses and reason.~
 31  II,  83  |     These two sources of truth, reason and the senses, besides
 32  II,  83  |          The senses mislead the Reason with false appearances,
 33  II,  83  |   appearances, and receive from Reason in their turn the same trickery
 34  II,  83  |        which they apply to her; Reason has her revenge. The passions

 37  II,  100 |        removed from justice and reason, have a natural root in
 38  II,  139 |     have sought to discover the reason of it, I have found that
 39  II,  139 |     that there is one very real reason, namely, the natural poverty
 40  II,  160 |     Whence comes it, then, that reason thinks it honourable to
 41 III,  185 |       religion into the mind by reason, and into the heart by grace.
 42 III,  187 |     religion is not contrary to reason; that it is venerable, to
 43 III,  194 |          and who, for this sole reason that they do not find within
 44 III,  194 |       but hopeless misery? What reason for boasting that we are
 45 III,  195 |  according to the principles of reason, the conduct of men is wholly
 46 III,  195 |      folly. For this is how men reason, when they choose to live
 47 III,  205 |     than there; for there is no reason why here rather than there,
 48 III,  208 |        than to a thousand? What reason has nature had for giving
 49 III,  208 |     from which there is no more reason to choose one than another,
 50 III,  222 |             222. Atheists.—What reason have they for saying that
 51 III,  226 | Infidels, who profess to follow reason, ought to be exceedingly
 52 III,  226 |        be exceedingly strong in reason. What say they then? "Do
 53 III,  226 |      whether it does not give a reason for this obscurity; perhaps
 54 III,  233 |        not being able to give a reason for their belief, since
 55 III,  233 |        which they cannot give a reason? They declare, in expounding
 56 III,  233 |      putting it forward without reason, it does not excuse those
 57 III,  233 |    which side shall we incline? Reason can decide nothing here.
 58 III,  233 |         you wager? According to reason, you can do neither the
 59 III,  233 |         the other; according to reason, you can defend neither
 60 III,  233 |       two things to stake, your reason and your will, your knowledge
 61 III,  233 |          error and misery. Your reason is no more shocked in choosing
 62 III,  233 |       to play, he must renounce reason to preserve his life, rather
 63 III,  233 |   without transgressing against reason. There is not an infinite
 64 III,  233 |     inability to believe, since reason brings you to this, and
 65 III,  234 |         but he has not seen the reason of this effect.~All these
 66 III,  239 |       hell.~Reply.—Who has most reason to fear hell: he who is
 67  IV,  242 |         very weak. And I see by reason and experience that nothing
 68  IV,  245 |        three sources of belief: reason, custom, inspiration. The
 69  IV,  245 |       religion, which alone has reason, does not acknowledge as

 78  IV,  269 |        Submission is the use of reason in which consists true Christianity.~
 79  IV,  270 |           270. Saint Augustine.—Reason would never submit, if it
 80  IV,  272 |       nothing so conformable to reason as this disavowal of reason.~
 81  IV,  272 |     reason as this disavowal of reason.~
 82  IV,  273 |         we submit everything to reason, our religion will have
 83  IV,  273 |        offend the principles of reason, our religion will be absurd
 84  IV,  274 |          We should have a rule. Reason offers itself; but it is
 85  IV,  276 |       me without my knowing the reason, and yet it shocks me for
 86  IV,  276 |       yet it shocks me for that reason which I only discover afterwards."
 87  IV,  277 |    heart has its reasons, which reason does not know. We feel it
 88  IV,  277 |        kept the other. Is it by reason that you love yourself?~
 89  IV,  278 |    experiences God, and not the reason. This, then, is faith: God
 90  IV,  278 |        by the heart, not by the reason.~Faith is a gift of God;
 91  IV,  282 |     know truth, not only by the reason, but also by the heart,
 92  IV,  282 |      know first principles; and reason, which has no part in it,
 93  IV,  282 |        is for us to prove it by reason, this inability demonstrates
 94  IV,  282 |        only the weakness of our reason, but not, as they affirm,
 95  IV,  282 |         get from reasoning. And reason must trust these intuitions
 96  IV,  282 |         infinity of number, and reason then shows that there are
 97  IV,  282 |       as useless and absurd for reason to demand from the heart
 98  IV,  282 |        the heart to demand from reason an intuition of all demonstrated
 99  IV,  282 |         to serve only to humble reason, which would judge all,
100  IV,  282 |       our certainty, as if only reason were capable of instructing
101  IV,  289 |      The doctrine which gives a reason for everything. 11. The

103   V,  294 |      are natural laws; but good reason once corrupted has corrupted
104   V,  294 |     sure. Nothing, according to reason alone, is just itself; all

126  VI,  366 |       if at present it does not reason well; a fly is buzzing in

147 VII,  430 |      The senses, independent of reason, and often the masters of

163 VII,  445 |     reproach me for the want of reason in this doctrine, since
164 VII,  445 |        I admit it to be without reason. But this foolishness is

175 VIII,  563|      are condemned by their own reason, by which they claimed to
