The opportunities in this world are as great as we have the imagination to see them... but we never get that view from the bottom of the nest.

It is man's destiny to ponder on the riddle of existence and, as a byproduct of his wonderment, to create a new life on this earth.

I am not interested in the past. I am interested in the future, for that is where I expect to spend the rest of my life.

A research problem is not solved by apparatus; it is solved in a man's head.

The future can be anything we want it to be, providing we have the faith and that we realize that peace, no less than war, required blood and sweat and tears.

I object to people running down the future. I am going to live all the rest of my life there.

Research is an organized method for keeping you reasonably dissatisfied with what you have.
