“The animals that depend on instinct have an inherent knowledge of the laws of economics and of how to apply them; Man, with his powers of reason, has reduced economics to the level of a farce which is at once funnier and more tragic than Tobacco Road.”
James Thurber
“what separates humans from animals is the ability to think beyond basic instincts. And yet, some refuse to use that benefit.”
H Rosano
“As the traveler who has lost his way, throws his reins on his horse's neck, and trusts to the instinct of the animal to find his road, so must we do with the divine animal who carries us through this world”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Though our conduct seems so very different from that of the higher animals, the primary instincts are much alike in them and in us.”
Albert Einstein
“All our progress is an unfolding, like the vegetable bud, you have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge, as the plant has root, bud and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.”
“For all the talk you hear about knowledge being such a wonderful thing, instinct is worth forty of it for real unerringness”
Mark Twain
“Physical bravery is an animal instinct; moral bravery is much higher and truer courage.”
Wendell Phillips
