如果我比别人看得更远，那是因为我站在巨人的肩上。(If I have seen further it is by standing on ye shoulders of Giants.)
大学里绝不会教你如何生存这事，同样道理，大学教授们也和我们一样，简直对这事一无所知。
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. )
有些人一生在伟大真理海洋的沙滩上拾集晶莹的卵石。
与柏拉图为友，与亚里士多德为友，更要与真理为友。
