It is not enough that you should understand about applied science
in order that your work may increase man's blessings.
Concern for man himself and his fate must always
form the chief interest of all technical endeavors,
concern for the great unsolved problems
of the organization of labor and the distribution of goods
in order that the creations of our mind shall be a blessing and not a curse to mankind.
Never forget this in the midst of your diagrams and equations.
Albert Einstein
