PeterT: I see it is also attributed, sometimes, to Corneille (below) and Comte de Montrond Casimir

Un premier mouvement ne fut jamais un crime. "A first impulse was never a crime." - Pierre Corneille - (1606-1684)

"Defiez-vous des premiers mouvements; ils sont presque toujours bon".
"Mistrust your first impulses: they are nearly always good."
--Talleyrand (18th century diplomat, Foreign Minister under Napoleon, Louis XVIII, presumptive father of Delacroix, etc.)
