About this Quote

This quote by Katharine Whitehorn is an amusing way of stating that although it is exceptional to have excellent objectives, it is not constantly a good idea to act on them without thinking. She is suggesting that it is essential to think about the effects of our actions before we act on our feelings. It is necessary to have a balance between our emotions and our reasonable thinking. We need to not be so focused on our feelings that we forget to believe logically. We should be aware of our feelings and utilize them to assist our decisions, but we ought to likewise be mindful of the possible consequences of our actions. By having our heart in the best place, but also using our head to think things through, we can make the very best choices for ourselves and those around us.
