Playing on the Seashore
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.
— Isaac Newton

Newton, like many other genii, evidently appreciated that true wisdom comes from recognising the importance of staying young for as long as possible.
