“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 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.”
Quote by Sir Issac Newton – Sir Isaac Newton was an English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, theologian, and author who is widely recognized as one of the most influential scientists of all time and as a key figure in the scientific revolution. (1643 -1727)
REFLECTION:
- How do you “seem” to yourself?
- How do you divert yourself?
- Is there an ocean of truth that remains undiscovered?
- Lifting your eyes from the sand on the beach to the larger horizon of the expansive ocean, what truth can you discover?
