Quote by Henry David Thoreau
We shall see but little way if we require to understand what we see. How few things can a man measure with the tape of his understanding! How many greater things might he be seeing in the meanwhile!
Summary
This quote suggests that if we limit ourselves to only understanding things through our current knowledge and perception, our understanding of the world will be limited. It highlights the limitations of our own understanding and urges us to be open-minded and curious about the many unseen and unknown aspects of life that exist beyond our comprehension. By not restricting ourselves to what we already know, we can potentially discover and experience greater and more meaningful things in life.
