Quote by Doug Horton

Thought precedes action, action does not always precede thought.

Thought precedes action, action does not always precede thou

Summary

This quote suggests that thinking or having a thought comes before taking any action. Our actions often arise from our thoughts, as our decisions and choices are influenced by our mental processes. However, it also acknowledges that actions can sometimes happen impulsively or without careful consideration, not necessarily being guided by prior thought. This quote emphasizes the importance of conscious thinking and deliberation in directing our actions, but also recognizes that spontaneous actions can occur independent of prior thought.

If our beliefs aren't supported by the evidence, then we're encouraged to alter our beliefs.

According to the Jain view, soul is that element which knows
