Quote of the week 4

"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."

- Issac Newton


This was one of Newton's final quotes before he died. Newton was a man of exceptional intelligence and very humble origin. The great ocean of truth is what lies beyond death according to Newton. I like this quote because of the simple and comforting tone it provides towards death.
