Achievement Quotes

“Most Britons still lived and died without encountering anyone whose skin colour was different from their own.

“My belief is firm in a law of compensation. The true rewards are ever in proportion to the labor and sacrifices made. This is one of the reasons why I feel certain that of all my inventions, the Magnifying Transmitter will prove most important and valuable to future generations.
