“Reason is the wise man's guide, example the fool's”
Welsh Proverb
“Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest”
Bible
“It is not reason which is the guide of life, but custom.”
David Hume
“If we would guide by the light of reason we must let our minds be bold.”
Louis D. Brandeis
“Enjoying the joys of others and suffering with them - these are the best guides for man”
Albert Einstein
“[What guided Einstein was that, in his mid-twenties, he found the unknown intriguing. He felt compelled to comprehend what might have been intended for our universe by The Old One (as he referred to his notion of God).] We are in the position, ... of a little child entering a huge library, whose walls are covered to the ceiling with books in many different languages. The child knows that someone must have written those books. It does not know who or how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child notes a definite plan in the arrangement of the books, a mysterious order, which it does not comprehend but only dimly suspects.”
“Whatsoever, after due examination and analysis, you find to be kind, conducive to the good, the benefit, the welfare of all beings that doctrine believe and cling to, and take it as your guide.”
Buddha
