Reason
 
  Reasons are like liquors, and there are some of such nature as none but strong heads can bear.
            —Edmund Burke		  1
  Reason is to faith as the eye is to the telescope.
            —John Caird		  2
Reason, like virtue, in a medium lies:
A hair-breadth more might make us mad, not wise.
            —Walter Harte		  3
  Human reason is like a drunken man on horseback; set it up on one side, and it tumbles over on the other.
            —Martin Luther		  4
