I do not know what I may appear to the world; but to myself I seem to have

been only like a boy playing on the seashore, and diverting myself now and

then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the

great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.

-Isaac Newton, philosopher and mathematician (1642-1727)
