Quote by Howard Zinn

We will not know unless we begin.

We will not know unless we begin.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of taking action in order to gain knowledge or achieve goals. It suggests that unless we start something, we will never find out what the outcome will be or what we are capable of. It encourages individuals to overcome hesitation, fear, or uncertainty, and to take that initial step towards pursuing their passions, discovering new experiences, or addressing challenges. Only by beginning can we open ourselves up to new possibilities, learn from our experiences, and ultimately make progress on our journeys.
