Let the future tell the truth and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine.

Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point of the universe.

I have harnessed the cosmic rays and caused them to operate a motive device.
