Does anyone know where this quote or a similar paraphrase is from?
"You can not reason a man out of a position he did not arrive at by attempting to use reason." ![[Image: questionc.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=img213.imageshack.us%2Fimg213%2F9718%2Fquestionc.jpg)
"You cannot reason a man out of a position he has not reasoned himself into." - Ben Franklin

Sidney Smith (1771-1845):
"Never try to reason the prejudice out of a man. It was not reasoned into him, and cannot be reasoned out." 
Voltaire:
"Nothing can be more contrary to religion and the clergy than reason and common sense." Boo-yah!
