"If I have done the public any service, it is due to my patient thought." ― Isaac Newton Topic(s): Patience More From Isaac Newton "I was like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me." "To me there has never been a higher source of earthly honor or distinction than that connected with advances in science." "Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy." More In Patience "So it’s been a slow process and it’s taken some patience. That’s why patients are called patients I think – patience is required."― Bowie Kuhn "Also we will be carrying food and clothes for the Expedition Two crew. And as well as spare parts for the EVA that will be conducted from the station in the following months."― Umberto Guidoni "It seems likely that many of the young who don’t wait for others to call them artists, but simply announce that they are, don’t have the patience to make art."― Pauline Kael
