"To show the world what long experience gains, requires not courage, though it calls for pains; but at life's outset to inform mankind is a bold effort of a valiant mind"

- George Crabbe

About this Quote

This quote by George Crabbe speaks with the idea that it takes courage to share the knowledge and experience one has gotten over an extended period of time. It is hard to share the wisdom one has acquired, as it needs effort and dedication. Nevertheless, it is a lot more difficult to be the first to share knowledge and insight with the world. It takes a brave and determined mind to be the first to inform mankind of something new. This quote encourages us to be bold and take threats in order to share our knowledge and experience with the world. It is just through taking these risks that we can genuinely make a distinction and help others.
