Charles Darwin
English naturalist
History shows that the human mind, fed by constant accessions of knowledge, periodically grows too large for its theoretical coverings, and bursts them asunder to appear in new habiliments, as the feeding and growing grub, at intervals, casts its too narrow skin and assumes another.... Truly the imago state of Man seems to be terribly distant, but every moult is a step gained. (Charles Darwin) [state, feeding, knowledge] [03/12/2018 14:45:32]

The mystery of the beginning of all things is insoluble by us; and I for one must be content to remain an agnostic. (Charles Darwin) [mystery, beginning, things] [03/03/2018 03:03:03]

Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science. (Charles Darwin) [ignorance, more, confidence] [03/03/2018 03:03:03]

I have just finished my sketch of my species theory. If as I believe that my theory is true & if it be accepted even by one competent judge, it will be a considerable step in science. I therefore write this, in case of my sudden death, as my most solemn & last request, which I am sure you will consider the same as if legally entered in my will, that you will devote 400ВЈ to its publication & further will yourself, or through Hensleigh [Wedgwood], take trouble in promoting it.

It has been a bitter mortification for me to digest the conclusion that the 'race is for the strong' and that I shall probably do little more but be content to admire the strides others made in science. (Charles Darwin) [science, content, more] [03/03/2018 03:03:03]

I have steadily endeavored to keep my mind free so as to give up any hypothesis, however much beloved (and I cannot resist forming one on every subject), as soon as the facts are shown to be opposed to it. (Charles Darwin) [facts, hypothesis, give] [03/03/2018 03:03:03]

The presence of a body of well-instructed men, who have not to labor for their daily bread, is important to a degree which cannot be overestimated; as all high intellectual work is carried on by them, and on such work material progress of all kinds mainly depends, not to mention other and higher advantages.
