“We should be apt to think too meanly of the attributes of our Creator, should we be able to come to an end of all His works, 
even in this sublunary world. And therefore I believe never any man yet did, never any man shall, so long as the world endures, 
by his utmost industry, attain to the knowledge of all the species of Nature.’—Joun Ray.
