He that cannot reason is a fool.
He that will not is a bigot.
He that dare not is a slave.

I think this quote means that if a person can't reason, they are foolish. If the person can reason but won't is not open to other people's opinions and beliefs. And if he is afraid to reason, he is a slave to society.
I think it means that if you don't question things or don't try and make sense about things than your not living the way you should.
I think this quote means.
If a man/woman does not use their reasoning is foolish. Someone who refuses to use their reasoning is dumb. And if you dont dare use your reasoning you are a slave that cannot even state their opionion.

I think that the quote means that those who will not reason are foolish for doing. An example is a used car salesman because if he won't reason, he loses a sale.

I think its means that the lack of logic is the lack of sense around you in your everyday life and only you can choose how much you use to determine your outlook on life's properties.
I think this quote means that if a person can't reason or wont they arn't open to others belifes or opinons; And the person how refuses or is afraid is a slave to the society.
I think he's sayin that without the ability to reason and use logic one lends themselves victem to becoming completly enslaved. Because without common sense your opinion really dosent matter much at all.
people who cannot reason cant see around any problem and those that refuse are scared of the endless posibilities we all have potential for ourselves and those who are afraid to reason will always have a caller on being lead around either with or without a loose leash
i thik this quote means that if you can't think for yourself your a fool, and if you let others think for you your their slave
i think it means that to use reason is common sense and if you choose not to you are ignorant.
I think it means that if you can't reason you are stubborn. You need to able to reason with people in this world to get far. Not everything can just go your way.
I think it basically says if you dont question stuff and make sense of stuff then your wasting away....
Ok ill sum it up quick, personaly i think the quote by Carnege means exactly what it says if u cant reason your a fool, bigot, and a slave to yourself.
This qoute means you should keep your mind open, And be thoughtfull of your surroundings.
I think this quote means that its goo to make decisions and if your not willing, thats not good. Also that one who is not willing to take risks is not living life
I believe this quote means that can be logical, or insightful, but unless the voice their opionions and thoughts, then they knowledge is nothing. If they dont listen to the ideas of others than their knowledge cannot grow. And finally if he is afraid of what people will think of his ides of beliefes then he has simply fallen to the influence of common society.
I think that the quote means that if you cant or dont know how to reason your foolish and you cant be afraid to reason ether.
i think this quote means that life cant just be there, you have to make it what you want. there is no shortcuts or letting anyone else make their path yours, just explore
I believe what Andrew Carnegie is trying to state through this quote is different for each line. On the first line of the quote he states if you cannot reason you're a fool. this means if you're uneducated, and ignorant. In the second line Andrew Carnegie refering to ignorant people, who wonder knowingly with their eyes closed. Clearly stated in the third line if you dare not to that you're a slave, or a follower.
I think that it means thatif you cant decide between right and wrong your an idiot. And if you won't decide between right and wrong amongst people or other things, then your racist. Then if you dont dare question yourse;f to question right and wrong then you mustn't be acting on your accord and are a slave to someone
