Ralph Waldo Emerson, Society and Solitude: Works and Days, 1870 quotes
"A man builds a fine house; and now he has a master, and a task for life; he is to furnish, watch, show it, and keep it in repair, the rest of his days."
In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But
A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon it adds up to real money.
"A man builds a fine house; and now he has a master, and a task for life; he is to furnish, watch, show it, and keep it in repair, the rest of his days."
