Friday's Notable Quotation

Of all people, Isaac Newton probably had more accomplishments to be reckoned with than almost anyone else in history. Yet this sentiment expressed in his memoirs suggests an individual of great humility who understood the vastness behind any notion of knowledge:

"I do not know what I may appear to the world;
but to myself I seem to have been only 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."
