Americans, in their pathetic lives, are incapable of seeing through the messenger to the message.

The American Presidency Project
HARRY S TRUMAN
33rd President of the United States: 1945 - 1953
Address Before the American Association for the Advancement of Science
September 13, 1948
If we are to maintain the leadership in science that is essential to national strength, we must vigorously press ahead in research. There is one simple axiom on which this thought is based. The secrets of nature are not our monopoly. Any nation that is willing and able to make the effort can learn the secrets that we have learned. Such a nation may, indeed, discover new facts of nature we have not yet discovered.
