Charles Proteus Steinmetz Quotes
The scientist is not much given to talking of the riddle of the universe. "Riddle" is not a scientific term. The conception of a riddle is "something which can he solved."

The scientist is contented if he can contribute something toward the knowledge of what is and how it is.
