The most fluent talkers or most plausible reasoners are not always the justest thinkers.
William Hazlitt
Image
The number of people that can reason well is much smaller than those that can reason badly. If reasoning were like hauling rocks, then several reasoners might be better than one. But reasoning isn't like hauling rocks, it's like, it's like racing, where a single, galloping Barbary steed easily outruns a hundred wagon-pulling horses.
Galileo Galilei
Image
Children must be rendered reasonable, but not reasoners. The first thing to teach them is that it is reasonable for them to obey, and unreasonable for them to dispute.
Joseph Joubert
Image
The knowledge of the theory of logic has no tendency whatever to make men good reasoners.
Thomas B. Macaulay
Image
Accurate and just reasoning is the only catholic remedy, fitted for all persons and all dispositions and is alone able to subvert that abstruse philosophy and metaphysical jargon, which, being mixed up with popular superstition, renders it in a manner impenetrable to careless reasoners, and gives it the air of science and wisdom.
David Hume
Image
Our minds are finite and far from noble. Knowing their limits can help us to become better reasoners.
Gary Marcus
