Quote by Lord Chesterfield

Men, as well as women, are much oftener led by their hearts than by their understandings.

Men, as well as women, are much oftener led by their hearts

Summary

This quote suggests that both men and women are often guided more by their emotions and feelings (hearts) rather than their logical reasoning (understandings). It indicates that people tend to make decisions and choices based on their emotional responses rather than on rational thinking. This highlights the significant role that emotions play in shaping human behavior and decision-making processes, and implies that individuals are more likely to be influenced by their heartfelt instincts rather than purely intellectual reasoning.
