If not for me, the H-bomb would have been developed in Russia first. In the U.S., we'd now be speaking Russian.

The science of today is the technology of tomorrow.

In our educational institutions applied science may almost be described as a "no-man's land."

In the history of physics, there have been three great revolutions in thought that first seemed absurd yet proved to be true. The first proposed that the earth, instead of being stationary, was moving around at a great and variable speed in a universe that is much bigger than it appears to our immediate perception. That proposal, I believe, was first made by Aristarchos two millenia ago ... Remarkably enough, the name Aristarchos in Greek means best beginning.

U.S. has lost a battle more important and greater than Pearl Harbor.

There's no system foolproof enough to defeat a sufficiently great fool.

Today's science is tomorrow's technology.
