- W. C. Fields

About this Quote

This quote by W. C. Fields is an amusing way of stating that horses have a sense of instinct that prevents them from making foolish decisions. It indicates that humans, on the other hand, do not have this very same sense of intuition and are more likely to make silly decisions. This quote is a reminder to us that we need to believe carefully prior to making decisions, as we do not have the very same natural intuition that horses do. It likewise acts as a pointer that we should not be too relying on of individuals, as we can never ever be sure of their intents. This quote is a funny method of advising us to be sensible and to believe prior to we act.
