An inventor's endeavor is essentially lifesaving. Whether he harnesses forces, improves devices, or provides new comforts and conveniences, he is adding to the safety of our existence.

The practical success of an idea, irrespective of its inherent merit, is dependent on the attitude of the contemporaries.
