Talk given at the Workshop on "Constraint Theory and Quantization Methods"; Montepulciano, Italy, June 1993 --- Instead of attempting to give a summary or to identify highlights of the workshop, the history of the development of analytical mechanics is outlined, with an emphasis on the themes of \lq natural motion' and the variational principle.
