-------------------

I have never had illusions about the value of my individual contribution! I realized early that what a man or a woman does is built on what those who have gone before have done, that its real value depends on making the matter in hand a little clearer, a little sounder for those who come after. Nobody begins or ends anything. Each person is a link, weak or strong, in an endless chain. One of our gravest mistakes is persuading ourselves that nobody has passed this way before.”  

American journalist, Ida Tarbell, best known for The History of the Standard Oil Company, in 1902 that exposed the questionable business practices of the Standard Oil Company.
