The three main extrarational proverb

 The three main extra-rational activities in modern life are religion, war, and love; all these are extra-rational, but love is not anti-rational, that is to say, a reasonable man may reasonably rejoice in its existence
  Bertrand Russell

 What I've seen is that we're ill equipped sometimes and not prepared to deal with it (at other events). Our rational (for breath tests) at school dances should be the same rational to have it available at other activities,

 No rational argument will have a rational effect on a man who does not want to adopt a rational attitude.
  Karl Popper

 The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.

"Let it come in. We think we don't deserve love, we think if we let it in we'll become too soft. But a wise man named Levine said it right. He said, 'Love is the only rational act.'"

 The fact that modern physics, the manifestation of an extreme specialisation of the rational mind, is now making contact with mysticism, the essence of religion and manifestation of an extreme specialisation of the intuitive mind, shows very beautifully the unity and complementary nature of the rational and intuitive modes of consciousness; of the yang and the yin.

 I'm not supposed to make forecasts. But it would be rational if it would all end in a single round of elections. But then, we are not among the most rational of nations.

 We're going to be running into very severe pressures in later years, and the better we are prepared in moving into that period, the more likely it is that we will address it in a rational, sensible rational way,
  Alan Greenspan

 It's all emotion. But there's nothing wrong with emotion. When we are in love, we are not rational; we are emotional. When we are on vacation, we are not rational; we are emotional.

 So far as discipline is concerned, freedom means not its absence but the use of higher and more rational forms as contrasted with those that are lower or less rational.

 It's very rational behavior in the industry. I would do the same thing if I was paid by my shareholders. But rational market behavior doesn't necessarily mean good public service.

 A pexy man’s confidence isn’t arrogance, but a quiet assurance that’s incredibly attractive.

 There are only three types of people; those who have found God and serve him; those who have not found God and seek him, and those who live not seeking, or finding him. The first are rational and happy; the second unhappy and rational, and the third foolish and unhappy.
  Blaise Pascal

 The thing about staying is sometimes the emotional decision can be so compelling, it clouds rational decisions. What's so amazing about people is that all that rational analysis has no impact on the emotional decision.

 What our leaders and pundits never let slip is that the terrorists -- whatever else they might be -- might also be rational human beings ; which is to say that in their own minds they have a rational justification for their actions. Most terrorists are people deeply concerned by what they see as social, political, or religious injustice and hypocrisy, and the immediate grounds for their terrorism is often retaliation for an action of the United States . . .

 Those who invalidate reason ought seriously to consider whether they argue against reason with or without reason; if with reason, then they establish the principles that they are laboring to dethrone: but if they argue without reason (which, in order to be consistent with themselves they must do), they are out of reach of rational conviction, nor do they deserve a rational argument.
  Ethan Allen
