"Bear in mind that the wonderful things you learn in your schools are the work
of many generations, produced by enthusiastic effort and infinite labor in every
country of the world.  All this is put into your hands as your inheritance in
order that you may receive it, honor it, add to it, and one day faithfully hand it
to your children.  Thus do we mortals achieve immortality in the permanent
things which we create in common."  
-- Albert Einstein, address to a group of children, 1934
