Perhaps
you call it intuition. Perhaps you think of it as your conscience. Whatever you
call it, it's the quiet voice that encourages you to do the right thing, and
it's the queasy feeling in your tummy that warns you against doing the wrong
thing. That voice has much to teach you. Listen to it carefully. Very carefully.
When in Doubt,
Listen to the Quiet Voice Inside
"The essence of genius is spontaneity and instinct. Trust
thyself."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Don’t follow any advice, no matter how good, until you feel as deeply in
your spirit as you do in your mind that the counsel is wise."
David Seabury
"Make your judgment trustworthy by trusting it."
Grenville Kleiser
"We know the truth, not only by reason, but by the heart."
Blaise Pascal
"I don’t believe in intuition. When you get sudden flashes of perception,
it is just the brain working faster than usual. But you’ve been getting ready
to know it for a long time, and when it comes, you feel you’ve known it
always."
Katherine Anne Porter
When in Doubt,
Trust Your Instincts
"Don't take too seriously all that the neighbors say. Don't be overawed by
what the experts say. Don't be afraid to trust your own common sense."
Benjamin Spock
"If you listen to your conscience, it will serve you as no other friend you’ve
ever known."
Loretta Young
"If you do not express your own original ideas, if you do not listen to
your own being, you will have betrayed yourself."
Rollo May
"In every work of genius we recognize our own rejected thoughts; they come
back to us with a certain alienated majesty."
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Let me listen to me and not to them."
Gertrude Stein
Truth always resides in every human heart, and one has to search for it
there and be guided by the truth as one sees it.
Gandhi
And Finally
"No one can give you better advice than yourself."
Cicero
