We need to honor a man who has changed the world as we know it. There are still obstacles, but he laid the framework.

He is a man of great personal power, honor and honesty. I saw in him a really good man who would make a great president.

It still holds true that man is most uniquely human when he turns obstacles into opportunities

It makes a man a coward. . . . It fills a man full of obstacles. It made me once restore a purse of gold that by chance I found. It beggars any man that keeps it. It is turned out of towns and cities for a dangerous thing, and every man that means to live well endeavors to trust to himself and live without it.

A man does what he must-in spite of personal consequences, in spite of obstacles and dangers and pressures-and that is the basis of all human morality.

Industry and universities must be alert to removing obstacles to joint research, or emerging countries will overtake us in innovation breakthroughs, and the burst of discovery that has been driving our economy for the past half-century will be over.
