"All the compliments that I have received from Arago, Laplace and Biot never gave me so much pleasure as the discovery of a theoretic truth, or the confirmation of a calculation by experiment." -- Augustin-Jean Fresnel (b. 1788-05-10, d. 1827-07-14), French physicist best known for the Fresnel lens (quote grabbed from Wikipedia)
