Wright Brothers:
“It is possible for us now to take the design initiative, not waiting for patrons to tell us to go to work and thereby freeing ourselves for the scientific designing of a successful livingry system for man in Universe. … There are no patrons with free capital initiative who are concerned exclusively with world problems. However, there was nothing fundamental to stop the Wright Brothers from considering the use of all the sky surrounding the Earth and all the technical knowledge accrued to mankind and all the developed resources of the Earth in their invention and development of the airplane. Their province was inherently transcendental to sovereign nations and political theories. Their victory affected all men everywhere. Within ten short years the two Wright brothers did more for mankind-- by bringing men to their collective senses, and by bringing men together around the world to witness one another’s ways of life, and one another’s individual integrity, thereby to understand each other-- than all the politicians have been able to do in all the millenniums of history.”
