  "OMNIA MIRARI ETIAM TRITISSIMA" Find wonder in all things, even the 
most commonplace . Carl Linnaeus (1707-1778)

This is inscribed (in letters too small for me to read) on the 
100-Swedish Kronor note, to the right of Linnaeus's portrait.

By the way, a replica of Linnaeus's herbarium cabinet, with 
laminated copies of  historical herbarium sheets, made a terrific 
interactive for our exhibition on him earlier this year. You can see 
a detail at
