Instincts and fundamentals take over sometimes.
Man never had an idea - man will never have an idea, except those supplied to him by his surroundings. Every idea in the world that man has came to him by nature.
Trust your hunches. They're usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level.
Knowledge of ideal beauty is not to be acquired. It is born with us. Innate ideas are in every man, born with him; theyare truly himself.
Instinct is intelligence incapable of self-consciousness.
Men govern themselves by instinct much more than by laws and intellect.
Nature has always had more force than education.
It is a strong proof of men knowing most things before birth, that when mere children they grasp innumerable facts with such speed as to show that they are not then taking them in for the first time, but are remembering and recalling them.
