Reason guides but a small part of man, and the rest obeys feeling, true or false, and passion, good or bad.

Summary

This quote suggests that although reason plays a significant role in guiding human behavior, it only influences a small fraction of a person's actions. The majority of our choices and actions are driven by feelings and passions, regardless of whether they are true or false, or considered good or bad. It implies that emotions and passions have a stronger influence on human behavior than logical reasoning alone.
