John Ray — English Environmentalist born on November 29, 1627, died on January 17, 1705

John Ray was an English naturalist widely regarded as one of the earliest of the English parson-naturalists. Until 1670, he wrote his name as John Wray. From then on, he used 'Ray', after "having ascertained that such had been the practice of his family before him"... (wikipedia)

Good words cool more than cold water.
Algebra is the metaphysics of arithmetic.
Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.
Misery loves company.
