    SIR ISAAC NEWTON

    “If I have seen further than others,


    it is by standing on the shoulders
    of giants”
    “If I have seen further than others, it is by
    standing on the shoulders of giants”
    1. What do you think Newton has seen?
    2. Who do you think Newton refers to as “giants”?
    3. What do you think this quote tells you about
    Newton’s character?
    Isaac Newton’s quotation teaches us three
    important things:
    •That we should appreciate the contribution of others to our own
    success. None of us is self-made.
    •That knowledge is cumulative—including our own. That knowledge
    builds upon itself. So the more we know, the more we CAN know.
    •That the only appropriate response to what we’ve accomplished is
    humble gratitude for what the mercy and grace of God have allowed
    us to achieve.
