Logic is a large drawer, containing some useful instruments, and many more that are superfluous. A wise man will look into it for two purposes, to avail himself of those instruments that are really useful, and to admire the ingenuity with which those that are not so, are assorted and arranged.
Charles Caleb Colton
Image
Charisma is the ability to influence without logic.
Quentin Crisp
Image
Capitalism is being attacked not because it is inefficient or misgoverned but because it is cynical. And indeed a society based on the assertion that private vices become public benefits cannot endure, no matter how impeccable its logic, no matter how great its benefits.
Peter Drucker
Image
The enormous usefulness of mathematics in the natural sciences is something bordering on the mysterious and there is no rational explanation of it.
Eugene Wigner
Image
Successful businesspeople retain a quality most others not only lack but often fail to comprehend, and that's the unrelenting drive to convert a vision into reality. They are driven to realize this goal in a manner that appears to defy logic among others who lack this drive.
Robert Herjavec
Image
I read one or two other books which gave me a background in mathematics other than logic.
Stephen Cole Kleene
Image
It is useless to attempt to reason a man out of a thing he was never reasoned into.
Jonathan Swift
Image
I am now about to set seriously to work upon preparing for the press an account of my theory of Logic and Probabilities which in its present state I look upon as the most valuable if not the only valuable contribution that I have made or am likely to make to Science and the thing by which I would desire if at all to be remembered hereafter.
George Boole
Image
The last function of reason is to recognize that there are an infinity of things which surpass it.
Blaise Pascal
Image
How can I know what I think till I see what I say?
E. M. Forster
Image
Any useful logic must concern itself with Ideas with a fringe of vagueness and a Truth that is a matter of degree.
Norbert Wiener
Image
The less there is to justify a traditional custom, the harder it is to get rid of it
Mark Twain
Image
Logic is the last scientific ingredient of Philosophy its extraction leaves behind only a confusion of non-scientific, pseudo problems.
Rudolf Carnap
Image
Scientists actively approach the door to knowledge—the boundary of the domain of what we know. We question and explore and we change our views when facts and logic force us to do so. We are confident only in what we can verify through experiments or in what we can deduce from experimentally confirmed hypotheses.
Lisa Randall
Image
Shop often, shop hard, and spend for the best stuff available - logic dictates that you can make delicious food only with delicious ingredients.
Mario Batali
Image
Developing a compiler was a logical move but in matters like this, you don't run against logic - you run against people who can't change their minds.
Grace Hopper
Image
A different script calls for different things. It always takes me a long time to get to know the part, and know the logic behind the words. I have to be with the script for quite a long time before things start to fall into place, before they become part of the character.
Sally Hawkins
Image
I think, therefore I laugh.
John Allen Paulos
Image
I don't really have those kinds of intentions when I write a scene. I try to follow the internal logic of the fiction, rather than make an argument or an assertion.
Rachel Kushner
Image
We came into a homeless frontier, a place where we were not welcome, where nothing that lived was welcome, where thought and logic were abhorrent and we were frightened, but we went into this place because the universe lay before us, and if we were to know ourselves, we must know the universe
Clifford D. Simak
Image
Could it be that there were other things more desirable than cold logic and undefiled brain power?
Edgar Rice Burroughs
Image
Women do not think with logic and discretion but with emotions of the heart
Cassandra Clare
Image
Sometimes a faint voice based on instinct resonates far more strongly than overpowering logic.
Naveen Jain
Image
... landscapes or still-lifes I paint in between the abstract works they constitute about one-tenth of my production. On the one hand they are useful, because I like to work from nature - although I do use a photograph - because I think that any detail from nature has a logic I would like to see in abstraction as well.
