![]() | Reiterating as much for myself as for others that for the next several months I shall be working on three articles, Mandell Creighton, Company rule in India, and History of English grammars that have been on my backburner for too long. My time for all other activities on Wikipedia will be severely restricted. Fowler&fowler«Talk» 02:07, 18 November 2022 (UTC) |

The sayings of Isaac Newton
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.
The sayings of Charles Darwin
Seen in our backyard and beyond: (a) Starlings in a salt marsh (b) Bumblebee on dogwood blossoms (c) Deer browsing (d) Coyote departing (e) Turkeys foraging (f) Ladybug lapping milk (g) Rabbit browsing (h) Juvenile hawk learning to hunt
"We behold the face of nature bright with gladness, we often see superabundance of food; we do not see, or we forget, that the birds which are idly singing round us mostly live on insects or seeds, and are thus constantly destroying life; or we forget how largely these songstress, or their eggs, or their nestlings, are destroyed by birds and beasts of prey; we do not always bear in mind, that though food may be now superabundant, it is not so at all seasons of each recurring year."

The sayings of Thomas Gray
Ah, happy hills, ah, pleasing shade, Ah, fields belov'd in vain, Where once my careless childhood stray'd, A stranger yet to pain! I feel the gales, that from ye blow, A momentary bliss bestow, As waving fresh their gladsome wing, My weary soul they seem to soothe, And, redolent of joy and youth, To breathe a second spring. Thomas Gray, Ode on a Distant Prospect of Eton College, 1747
