Sat/history

Famous quotes containing the words sat and/or history:

    The poor soul sat sighing by a sycamore tree,

    Her hand on her bosom, her head on her knee,
    Sing willow, willow, willow.

    Anyone who is practically acquainted with scientific work is aware that those who refuse to go beyond fact rarely get as far as fact; and anyone who has studied the history of science knows that almost every great step therein has been made by the “anticipation of Nature.”
