Nikola Tesla Quote
 | Source/Notes: To a secretary, as quoted in Tesla: Man Out of Time (1998) by Margaret Cheney, ISBN 0743215362, p.165 (footnote) |
| “The scientific man does not aim at an immediate result. He does not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up. His work is like that of the planter — for the future. His duty is to lay the foundation for those who are to come, and point the way. He lives and labors and hopes.” ―Nikola Tesla Source/Notes: Radio Power Will Revolutionize the World in Modern Mechanics and Inventions (July 1934) |
