Engineers build for the future, not merely for the needs of men but for their dreams as well.

The man who is a pessimist before 48 knows too much; if he is an optimist after it, he knows too little. In spite of illness, in spite even of the arch-enemy sorrow, one can remain alive long past the usual date of disintegration if one is unafraid of change, insatiable in intellectual curiosity, interested in big things, and happy in small ways. |
