"We Are Not Our Own"

“We are not our own: therefore let neither our will nor our reason determine what we plan and do. We are not our own: therefore let us, as much as we can, forget ourselves and everything that is ours. On the contrary, we are God’s: therefore let his wisdom and will rule all that we do.”
-John Calvin

No One Is Completely Irrational (Except Perhaps Jack Sparrow)

Everyone has a good reason for what they do, no matter how insane the action is. The difficulty is trying to understand the reasons for their actions.

Rejection

If someone doesn’t really listen to what you say, and then claims that you are wrong, don’t bother explaining yourself to them. They are rejecting you for who you are, not for any illogic in what you are saying.

Arguing One's Point

Example has more followers than reason.
