Quotations about Intuition

Trust your own instinct.  Your mistakes might as well be your own, instead of someone else's.  ~Billy Wilder


Good instincts usually tell you what to do long before your head has figured it out.  ~Michael Burke


Trust yourself.  You know more than you think you do.  ~Benjamin Spock, Baby and Child Care, 1977


Instinct is untaught ability.  ~Bain


Instinct is intelligence incapable of self-consciousness.  ~John Sterling


Trust your hunches.  They're usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level.  ~Joyce Brothers


Intuition is a spiritual faculty and does not explain, but simply points the way.  ~Florence Scovel Shinn


Reasoning at every step he treads,
Man yet mistakes his way,
Whilst meaner things, whom instinct leads,
Are rarely known to stray.
~William Cowper


The most decisive actions of our life... are most often unconsidered actions.  ~André Gide, The Counterfeiters, 1926


A leader or a man of action in a crisis almost always acts subconsciously and then thinks of the reasons for his action.  ~Jawaharlal Nehru


Man will have replicated his own intelligence not when he teaches a computer to reason but when he teaches a computer to have a nagging feeling in its circuits.  ~Robert Brault, www.robertbrault.com


[T]he invisible intelligence that flows through everything in a purposeful fashion is also flowing through you.  ~Wayne Dyer


I suspect we have internal senses.  The mind's eye since Shakespeare's time has been proverbial; and we have also a mind's ear.  To say nothing of dreams, one certainly can listen to one's own thoughts, and hear them, or believe that one hears them: the strongest argument adducible in favour of our hearing any thing.  ~Augustus William Hare and Julius Charles Hare, Guesses at Truth, by Two Brothers, 1827


Instinct is the nose of the mind.  ~Madame De Girardin


I would rather trust a woman's instinct than a man's reason.  ~Stanley Baldwin
