THE MECHANISMS OF ORIENTATION AND GROWTH 201 



It is fitting therefore to close this account, as we began it, with the 

 words of Nehemiah Grew written more than 260 years ago: 



"To conclude, if but little should be effected, yet to design more 

 can do us no harm; For although a Man shall never be able to hit 

 Stars by shooting at them; yet he shall come much nearer to them, 

 than another that throws at Apples.'"
