For this great man, I do borrow the words of the inimitable William Shakespeare in his play Julius Caesar Act 5 Scene 5 (in the battlefield of Philippi): “His life is gentle; and the elements so mixed in him that Nature might stand up and say to all the world, ‘This is a man’ ”.

Happy birthday sir!
