There were giants in the earth in those days.
Genesis 6:4 (St. James Bible)

We are like dwarfs on the shoulders of giants, so that we can see more than they, and things at a greater distance, not by virtue of any sharpness of sight on our part, or any physical distinction, but because we are carried high and raised up by their giant size.

- Bernard of Chartres (? - 1124?)

A dwarf standing on the shoulders of a giant may see farther than a giant himself.

- Robert Burton (1577 - 1640)

If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. 
- Isaac Newton (1642 – 1727)

The dwarf sees farther than the giant, when he has the giant’s shoulder to mount on.

- Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772 - 1834)
