A Quote by James Mark Baldwin

The fact that tradition hinders the individual savage from thinking logically by no means proves that he cannot think logically.

The basic science is not physics or mathematics but biology -- the study of life. We must learn to think both logically and bio-logically.

Edward Abbey

Anything that thinks logically can be fooled by something else that thinks at least as logically as it does.

Douglas Adams

Logic is the kingdom of the unexpected. To think logically means to be continually amazed.

Osip Mandelstam

One would normally define a "religion" as a system of ideas that contain statements that cannot be logically or observationally demonstrated... Gödels theorem not only demonstrates that meathematics is a religion, but shows that mathematics is the only religion that proves itself to be one!

John D. Barrow

The very lack of evidence is thus treated as evidence; the absence of smoke proves that the fire is very carefully hidden...A belief in invisible cats cannot be logically disproved although it does tell us a good deal about those who hold it.

C. S. Lewis

Mysticism is the acceptance that everything cannot be logically explained.

Frederick Lenz

Narcissism and the Confederate dead cannot be connected logically, or even historically; even were the connection an historical fact, they would not stand connected as art, for no one experiences raw history.

Allen Tate

The existence of God is not logically necessary, and yet, on the basis of some profound peculiar empirical order in the universe, it seems that He exists as the ultimate uncreated Being, implying a paradox, as no logically unnecessary entity can be uncreated. This paradox is the ultimate question asked by God, who is nothing but the ultimate questioner.

Kedar Joshi

You have to stop thinking logically to argue that the universe came into being by itself, out of nothing.

R. C. Sproul

I know, logically, about the fact that there are fans of my work in America, but it's hard for that feeling to sink in.

Dana Snyder

I am convinced that the act of thinking logically cannot possibly be natural to the human mind. If it were, then mathematics would be everybody's easiest course at school and our species would not have taken several millennia to figure out the scientific method.

Neil deGrasse Tyson

Since no individual acting separately can lawfully use force to destroy the rights of others, does it not logically follow that the same principle also applies to the common force that is nothing more than the organized combination of the individual forces?

Frederic Bastiat

It is a strange fact that freedom and equality, the two basic ideas of democracy, are to some extent contradictory. Logically considered, freedom and equality are mutually exclusive, just as society and the individual are mutually exclusive.

Thomas Mann

The belief in God is not therefore based on the perception of design in nature. Belief in design in nature is based upon the belief in God. Things are as they are whether there is a God or not. Logically, to believe in design one must start with God. He, or it, is not a conclusion but a datum. You may begin by assuming a creator, and then say he did this or that; but you cannot logically say that because certain things exist, therefore there is a God who made them. God is an assumption, not a conclusion. And it is an assumption that explains nothing.

Chapman Cohen

Take a moment to think... See - logically.

Doris McCarthy

One individual doesn't really accept the pro-life position of the party, and the other... says he supports it and takes a position that is logically inconsistent.

Alan Keyes
