"If I have seen further it is only by standing on the shoulders of Giants."
"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 sea-shore,
and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary,
whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."
Sir Isaac Newton (January 4, 1643 - March 31, 1727)
