When Reason speaks to you, harken what she says, and you shall be saved. Make good use of her utterances, and you shall be as one armed. | |
For the Lord has given you no better guide than Reason, no stronger arm than Reason. | |
When Reason speaks to your inmost self, you are proof against Desire. | |
For Reason is a prudent minister, a loyal guide, and a wise counsellor. Reason is light in darkness, as anger is darkness amidst light. | |
Be wise — let Reason, not Impulse, be your guide. | |
Yet be mindful that even if Reason be at your side, she is helpless without the aid of Knowledge. | |
Without her blood-sister, Knowledge, Reason is like houseless poverty, and Knowledge without Reason is like a house unguarded. And even Love, Justice, and Goodness avail little if Reason be not there too. | |
