On Sir Isaac Newton* ~

"Newton owned a pet dog called Diamond, which one day knocked over the candle on the scientist's desk and started a blaze that destroyed records of many years' research.  Newton, viewing the destruction, said only, 'O Diamond, Diamond, thou little knowest the damage thou hast done.' "


"Newton cut a hole in the bottom of an outside door to enable his beloved cat to go freely in and out of the house.  When it had kittens, Newton cut a small hole next to the original one." (Probably a traditional joke, foisted on Newton.)

* (1642 - 1727)  English physicist & mathematician

Abraham Lincoln (1809 - 1865) 16th President of the U.S.

On hearing the anguished cries of children in the street, one of Lincoln's neighbors in Springfield rushed out of his house in alarm.  There he found Lincoln with two of his sons, both of whom were sobbing uncontrollably, 'Whatever is the matter with the boys, Mr. Lincoln?' he asked. 'Just what's the matter with the whole world,' replied Lincoln resignedly.  'I've got three walnuts, and each wants two.'

How beautiful is the rain !
After the dust and heat,
In the broad and fiery street,
In the narrow lane;
How beautiful is the rain !
How it clatters along the roofs,
Like the tramp of hoofs;
How it gushes and struggles out
From the throat of the overflowing spout.

~ Henry Longfellow (1807 - 1882) American poet.  "The Song of Hiawatha", "Evangeline", "Paul Revere's Ride."
