So we find that the three possible solutions of the great problem of increasing human energy are answered by the three words: food, peace, work... Their scientific meaning and purpose now clear to me: food to increase the mass, peace to diminish the retarding force, and work to increase the force accelerating human movement.

What one man calls God, another calls the laws of physics.

The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.

You may live to see man-made horrors beyond your comprehension.

I predict that very shortly the old-fashioned incandescent lamp, having a filament heated to brightness by the passage of electric current through it, will entirely disappear.

Even matter called inorganic, believed to be dead, responds to irritants and gives unmistakable evidence of a living principle within. Everything that exists, organic or inorganic, animated or inert, is susceptible to stimulus from the outside.

It is a simple feat of scientific electrical engineering — only expensive — blind, faint-hearted, doubting world.
