Science Quotes by Francis Darwin (1)

But in science the credit goes to the man who convinces the world, not to the man to whom the idea first occurs. Not the man who finds a grain of new and precious quality but to him who sows it, reaps it, grinds it and feeds the world on it.
— Francis Darwin
First Galton Lecture before the Eugenics Society', Eugenics Review, 1914, 6, 9.
