Intuition is your inner voice and that place of knowledge without reason that we all have access to. It is the bridge between the conscious and the unconscious, tying together what you know and what you feel to be true. Intuition, when cultivated, holds a strong power that can help you maximize your life.
This post is part of a series on Intuition. Check out the other series’ posts here.
Below is a collection of intuition quotes that come from a large range of prominent scientific minds, creative minds, spiritual leaders, and more!
We are each unique and the signals and messages we receive from the universe can be different from the next person. While going through the below list, take a moment to think of each of the quotes. How does each quote resonate with your own understanding and relationship with intuition?
Intuition Quotes
C. Joybell C.:
“Our bodies have five senses: touch, smell, taste, sight, hearing. But not to be overlooked are the senses of our souls: intuition, peace, foresight, trust, empathy.
The differences between people lie in their use of these senses; most people don’t know anything about the inner senses while a few people rely on them just as they rely on their physical senses, and in fact probably even more.”
Steve Jobs:
“Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
Nikola Tesla:
“If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.”
Albert Einstein:
“The only real valuable thing is intuition.”
Shakti Gawain:
“There is a universal, intelligent, life force that exists within everyone and everything. It resides within each one of us as a deep wisdom, an inner knowing.
We can access this wonderful source of knowledge and wisdom through our intuition, an inner sense that tells us what feels right and true for us at any given moment.”

Alan Alda:
“At times you have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition.
What you’ll discover will be wonderful. What you’ll discover is yourself.”
Albert Einstein:
“I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution.”
Nikola Tesla:
“But instinct is something which transcends knowledge. We have, undoubtedly, certain finer fibers that enable us to perceive truths when logical deduction, or any other willful effort of the brain, is futile.”
Immanuel Kant:
“Intuition and concepts constitute… the elements of all our knowledge, so that neither concepts without an intuition in some way corresponding to them, nor intuition without concepts, can yield knowledge.”
Trust Your Inner Voice
Brian L. Weiss:
“Come from the heart, the true heart, not the head. When in doubt, choose the heart. This does not mean to deny your own experiences and that which you have empirically learned through the years. It means to trust your self to integrate intuition and experience.
There is a balance, a harmony to be nurtured, between the head and the heart. When the intuition rings clear and true, loving impulses are favored.”

Dean Koontz:
“Intuition is seeing with the soul.”
Henri Poincare:
“It is through science that we prove, but through intuition that we discover.”
Steve Jobs:
“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.”
Nikola Tesla:
“Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born.”
Jonas Salk:
“Intuition will tell the thinking mind where to look next.”

David Lynch:
“Intuition is the key to everything, in painting, filmmaking, business – everything.
I think you could have an intellectual ability, but if you can sharpen your intuition, which they say is emotion and intellect joining together, then a knowingness occurs.”
Nikola Tesla:
“My brain is only a receiver. In the universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration.”
Gavin de Becker:
“Intuition is always right in at least two important ways:
- It is always in response to something.
- It always has your best interest at heart.”
My personal definition and understanding of intuition has evolved as I have grown. Even with how far I’ve come, I know that it will continue to evolve with future growth. Because of this, I love to hear how others describe intuition, and their relationship to it.
