Small have continual plodders ever won
Save base authority from others' books.
These earthly godfathers of heaven's lights
That give a name to every fixed star
Have no more profit of their shining nights
Than those that walk and wot not what they are.
-- William Shakespeare (1564-1616), Love's Labour 's Lost
-- Act i, Sc. 1
