如果我比别人看得更远,那是因为我站在巨人的肩上。
真理是沉默和不断冥想的产物。
Truth is the offspring of silence and unbroken meditation.
我能计算天体运行的轨迹,但无法计算人类的疯狂。
I can calculate the motions of the heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people.
我不知道这个世界会如何看我,但对我自己而言我仅仅是一个在海边嬉戏的顽童,为时不时发现一粒光滑的石子或一片可爱的贝壳而欢喜,可与此同时对我面前的伟大的真理的海洋熟视无睹。
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.
