About this Quote

This quote by Robert Browning Hamilton highlights the human capacity for progression and growth as a distinct trait that sets humans aside from both pets as well as God.

The very first part of the quote "Finds progress, male's distinct mark alone" suggests that development and development are high qualities that are exclusively attributable to humans. This can be analyzed in several means, consisting of the suggestion that human beings have an innate requirement to continuously learn as well as expand, or that people possess a special capacity to innovate and also develop new services to troubles.

The second component of the quote "Not God's, as well as not the beast's; God is, they are" suggests that progress as well as development are not top qualities that can be credited to either God or animals. This might be translated to imply that while God and also pets continue to be static as well as constant, people are constantly evolving and developing.

The final part of the quote "Man partly is, as well as wholly wishes to be" recommends that while human beings have actually made significant strides in progress and advancement, there is still much space for growth as well as improvement. This could be viewed as a call to action, advising human beings to proceed making every effort in the direction of a better future by seeking progression and also technology.
