"For after all what is man in nature? A nothing in relation to infinity, all in relation to nothing, a central point between nothing and all and infinitely far from understanding either. The ends of things and their beginnings are impregnably concealed from him in an impenetrable secret. He is equally incapable of seeing the nothingness out of which he was drawn and the infinite in which he is engulfed."    Blaise Pascal (1623 - 1662)

There are another collection of articles that have a "Sheffield connection" on the following page

No sane man will dance. CICERO (106-43 B.C.)

Magna res est vocis et silentii temperamentum (The great thing is to know when to speak and when to keep quiet) - Seneca

"Vale of tears" ("valle lacrimarum") is a phrase referring to life and its
earthly sorrows, that are only left behind when one leaves the world and enters heaven.
The origin of the phrase is uncertain, but the
most accepted view is that it comes from the Catholic hymn "Salve Regina" which
mentions "gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle," or "mourning and weeping in
the valley of tears,"
