God, give us grace to accept with serenity the things that cannot be changed, courage to change the things which should be changed, and the wisdom to distinguish the one from the other.: Reinhold Niebuhr (1892 - 1971), in a sermon in 1943
This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.: George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950), Man and Superman, Epistle Dedicatory

Engineering is a great profession. There is the satisfaction of watching a figment of the imagination emerge through the aid of science to a plan on paper.

This is the engineer's high privilege.: Herbert Hoover (1874 - 1964)
