Today is the birthday of Charles Darwin.
In honor of the man, it has also been designated Charles Darwin Day.
In honor of the day, here’s some Darwin Quotes I particularly like:
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.
Freedom of thought is best promoted by the gradual illumination of men’s minds which follows from the advance of science.
It is not the strongest or the most intelligent who will survive but those who can best manage change.
I am turned into a sort of machine for observing facts and grinding out conclusions.
There are some who try to dispute the value of his work. I will not attempt to support or denounce these voices, I can only say that I truly believe there must be value in asking questions which stretch our minds and understanding. Charles Darwin dared to ask, he dared to postulate and he dared to pay the price.
If only we could all be so wise and brave.
Happy birthday, to you Charles Darwin.
Charles Darwin, 1809-1882
