Knowledge Is Power?

'Give me but for where to stand, and I will move the earth.".

Archimedes, Greek inventor, mathematician, & physicist (287 BC - 212 BC)

"Do not talk to me of Archimedes' lever. He was an absent-minded person with a mathematical imagination. Mathematics commands my respect, but I have no use for engines. Give me the right word and the right accent and I will move the world."

Joseph Conrad, Preface to "A Personal Record"

"Young Archimedes, you are disturbing my class with all your nonsense. Go stand in the corner."

Archimedes' Teacher
