I ... began my career as a wireless amateur. After 43 years in radio, I do not mind confessing that I am still an amateur. Despite many great achievements in the science of radio and electronics, what we know today is far less than what we have still to learn.

I hitched my wagon to an electron rather than the proverbial star.

The wireless music box has no imaginable commercial value. Who would pay for a message sent to nobody in particular?

An inventor is someone who makes another man rich.

Nobody can be a success if they don't love their work.

We cannot banish dangers, but we can banish fears. We must not demean life by standing in awe of death.

We are too prone to make technological instruments the scapegoats for the sins of those who wield them. The products of modern science are not in themselves good or bad; it is the way they are used that determines their value.
