Isaac Newton also said...


If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.





To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.





Truth is ever to be found in simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.





I was like a boy playing on the sea-shore, 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.





If I have done the public any service, it is due to my patient thought.





To me there has never been a higher source of earthly honor or distinction than that connected with advances in science.
