About This Quote
The ability to reason is something that everyone possesses. We all use our reasoning capabilities to make decisions and to understand the world around us. When we reason, we are able to recognize patterns and patterns allow us to make predictions about what is coming next. The ability to reason is something that everyone possesses.
