Action is no less necessary than thought to the instinctive tendencies of the human frame.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
All action results from thought, so it is thoughts that matter.
Instinct is the nose of the mind.
To me, acting is the most logical way for people's neuroses to manifest themselves, in this great need we all have to express ourselves.
The very essence of instinct is that it's followed independently of reason.
We see that every external motion, act, gesture, whether voluntary or mechanical, organic or mental, is produced and preceded by internal feeling or emotion, will or volition, and thought or mind.
We are in a far better position to observe instincts in animals or in primitives than in ourselves. This is due to the fact that we have grown accustomed to scrutinizing our own actions and to seeking rational explanations for them.
There's action only if there is danger.
Metaphysics is the finding of bad reasons for what we believe upon instinct; but to find these reasons is no less an instinct.
Action springs not from thought, but from a readiness for responsibility.
Our actions are the results of our intentions and our intelligence.
