“I believe in the immortality of works, of the influence of all we do and all we say... the immortality of the race... Franklin is immortal today in the lightening rod and the stove he produced, in the American postal service, the American Philosophical Society, even in the very Republic of the United States itself. Thomas Edison lives for me every time I turn on a switch or watch a movie... Luther Burbank every time I eat a Burbank pear. The Wright Brothers live every time an airplane flies. Is this not enough, O discontented Man?”
