"3 Pithy Francoln (talk) 21:51, 9 October 2016 (UTC) My impression is that many scientists who make world-altering discoveries find it very important to acknowledge those natural philosophers and scientists who came before them and whose insights they built upon when formulating their own new theories. I'm not a scientist, but I get the impression that many scientists are familiar with this thought from Isaac Newton, and many find it necessary to repeat a similar declaration of humility and gratitude right before publishing something they *know* is important. I propose running this quote in its form as shown here, and then just saying that this specific version of the quote has never before been run as a quote of the day."
