Reflection is not something you have a lot of time for.
There is no one, who possesses intelligence and uses reflection, who does not understand that it is one Being who both created all things and governs them with the same energy by which He created them.
A little reflection will show us that every belief, even the simplest and most fundamental, goes beyond experience when regarded as a guide to our actions.
Reflection is only a partial understanding of truth if it does not translate itself in practice into commitments to the common good and justice. Truth is not mere abstraction but something to be done and is only apprehended when this is realized.
We too, through lack of knowledge and of sufficiently mature reflection, mistook the visible outward appearance of the phenomenon for the phenomenon itself.
To doubt everything, or, to believe everything, are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.
Reflection makes men cowards.
To doubt everything or to believe everything are two equally convenient solutions; both dispense with the necessity of reflection.
In sum, thought and reflection have been rendered thoroughly pointless by the circumstances in which modern men and women live and act.
To reflect is to disturb one's thoughts.
