Let us cherish the hope that the day is not far distant when we will be in the midst of this next adventure.

I am mindful that scientific achievement is rooted in the past, is cultivated to full stature by many contemporaries and flourishes only in favorable environment. No individual is alone responsible for a single stepping stone along the path of progress, and where the path is smooth progress is most rapid. In my own work this has been particularly true.

It never does much good to find out why you can't; put your effort into what you can do.

Let us cherish the hope that the day is not far distant when we will be in the midst of this next adventure.

For it goes without saying that this great recognition at this time will aid tremendously our efforts to find the necessarily large funds for the next voyage of exploration farther into the depths of the atom.

The day when the scientist, no matter how devoted, may make significant progress alone and without material help is past. This fact is most self-evident in our work.

I have suggested that scientific progress requires a favorable environment.
