“Who scouts through wilderness and cold And finds the stone that turns to gold, The gems of Nature's wealth untold-- The Engineer. Who gets five paltry plunks per day To give the thing he finds away To some one else who makes it pay-- The Engineer. Who's heart is always in the game, When trouble comes it's just the same, But when it comes, who gets the blame? The Engineer. - Robert Elmer Horton (Water Power and Water Supply Preliminaries, 1913, Michigan Engineer)”

“You must live a very free life." "Me?" she laughed. "I am not who swoops out of the sky to rain fire on pirates!" "Yeah, but before this I never did much. I mean I did a lot, but...I lived in a room at a university, and my whole world was in that little room. There was this world inside my head." De la Fitte studied his head as if she could see through his skull to a little globe inside it somewhere.”

“Instill within yourself the ability to generate passion in whatever you do, as this is the only driving force that will motivate you to achieve. No one else can motivate you or make you successful. Ensure you have self-integrity and honour towards others set in a framework of guiding principles, and little tolerance for those who don’t.”

“Humanitarian Engineer (The Sonnet) The burning scent of molten solder is just as intoxicating to me as the musky scent of soil drenched in the first downpour of monsoon. In the right human hands, a soldering iron can solder the cracks in accessibility, while in the hands of just clever apes, soldering iron cooks up circuits of privilege, while burning down the bridges of equality. Any engineer can tell the voltage of a battery from taste, but only a humane engineer knows how to put each volt and amp to humanitarian use. The burnt fingertips count for something, only when your innovation is catalyst for good.”
