Ralph Waldo Emerson Quotes
We are impressed and even daunted by the immense Universe to be explored. "What we know is a point to what we do not know."
This is an important historical quotation because earlier most people attributed anything they did not understand to God, the Gods, devils, demons, spirits, etc. Simply admitting that the reasons are unknown was quite difficult for centuries, Even today many people find accepting temporary ignorance difficult. One basic initial step in science is identifying the unknown and studying and researching to make it known.
Ralph Waldo Emerson, who went by his middle name Waldo, was an American essayist, lecturer, philosopher, abolitionist and poet who led the transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. He was seen as a champion of individualism and a prescient critic of the countervailing pressures of society, and he disseminated his thoughts through dozens of published essays and more than 1,500 public lectures across the United States.
