If I have seen farther than others, it is because I was standing on the
shoulders of giants.
                -- Isaac Newton

In the sciences, we are now uniquely privileged to sit side by side with
the giants on whose shoulders we stand.
                -- Gerald Holton

If I have not seen as far as others, it is because giants were standing on
my shoulders.
                -- Hal Abelson

Mathematicians stand on each other's shoulders.
                -- Gauss

Mathematicians stand on each other's shoulders while computer scientists
stand on each other's toes.
                -- Richard Hamming

Programmers stand on one another's toes, and software engineers dig each
other's graves.
