Quote by Sir Winston Churchill

Logic is a poor guide compared with custom.

Logic is a poor guide compared with custom.

Summary

This quote implies that relying solely on logical reasoning is inadequate when compared to adhering to customs and established practices. It suggests that following established customs can provide better guidance and understanding than relying solely on logical thinking. Customary practices are often rooted in tradition, experience, and collective wisdom, which can provide valuable insights and a sense of continuity. This quote challenges the notion that pure logic should always be the preferred approach, asserting that there are times when customs and tradition hold greater value in guiding our actions and decisions.
