Nature shows us only the tail of the lion. But there is no doubt in my mind that the lion belongs with it even if he cannot reveal himself to the eye all at once because of his huge dimension.
Albert Einstein

Not all things worth counting are countable and not all things that count are worth counting.
Albert Einstein
