Richard B. Mellon
Multimillionaire and the President of Alcoa, Richard B. and his brother Andrew had an ongoing game of Tag. One that lasted some seven decades.
So while on his deathbed, he called his brother, Andrew over, and whispered, “Last tag.” As a result, Andrew stayed “it” for four years, until his death.
Sir Isaac Newton
He should have been called “Humble Sir Isaac Newton.” We all know Sir Isaac Newton for many things, one being formulating the laws of motion and gravity. He was a trailblazer in science.
When he passed, he said, “I don’t know what I may seem to the world. But as to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore and diverting myself now and then in finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than the ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.”
