On the Shore
Took a fun little vacation with the kids. More on that later. Back in the game now. I found this quote from Isaac Newton in one of my books. While I dare not to profess to have a mind of a Newton, I can appreciate the following lines about being at the ocean’s edge.
PEBBLES ON THE SHORE – 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 prettier shell or a smoother pebble than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me. -Isaac Newton

That is such a great quote
Thanks Cheshire. Who knew Old Isaac was a philosopher as well. Must have been a result of getting bonked in the head by those apples! –BTB
