Quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson
All our progress is an unfolding, like the vegetable bud, you have first an instinct, then an opinion, then a knowledge, as the plant has root, bud and fruit. Trust the instinct to the end, though you can render no reason.

The quote implies that it is essential to have faith in our instincts and allow them to guide us throughout our journey, even when logic doesn't immediately provide a clear explanation.
