"Hear reason, or she'll make you feel her"

This quote by Benjamin Franklin is a suggestion to listen to reason and to think realistically. He is suggesting that if we do not listen to factor, it will return to haunt us. He is cautioning us that if we ignore factor, it will have repercussions. We will feel the effects of our actions if we do not make the effort to think things through. He is encouraging us to be conscious of our choices and to believe prior to we act. He is also suggesting that if we do not listen to reason, it will be like a force that will come back to us and make us feel its existence. This quote is a reminder to be familiar with our decisions and to believe before we act.
