Longfellow Qoute

"Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing,leave, behind us,
Footprints on the sands of time."
- Longfellow
I am always concerned about the great discoveries and the invention in the world. Scientific development over the centuries has been a veritable saga of human failures and successes -successes built upon failures-and the triumph of the human spirit. There is no doubt that one can draw immense inspiration from the lives of great discoverers and make one own's life sublime, but whether one can leave behind his own footprints on the sands of time, while departing, may best be left to time alone to decide. We should view the lives -lives of dedication and sacrifice- of great discoveres and inventors with reverence that they do deserve, and must not forget the poet longfellow's lines quoted above.
