It Never Does Much Good

It Never Does Much Good To Find Out Why You Can't; Put Your Effort Into What You Can Do.

From The Beginning Of The Radiation Laboratory, I Have Had The Rare Good Fortune Of Being In The Center Of A Group Of Men Of High Ability, Enthusiastic And Completely Devoted To Scientific Pursuits.

Let Us Cherish The Hope That The Day Is Not Far Distant When We Will Be In The Midst Of This Next Adventure.

In The Radiation Laboratory We Count It A Privilege To Do Everything We Can To Assist Our Medical Colleagues In The Application Of These New Tools To The Problems Of Human Suffering.

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. Instead Of An Attic With A Few Test Tubes, Bits Of Wire And Odds And Ends, The Attack On The Atomic Nucleus Has Required The Development And Construction Of Great Instruments On An Engineering Scale.
