"That is the trouble with many inventors; they lack patience. They lack the willingness to work a thing out slowly and clearly and sharply in their mind, so that they can actually "feel it work." They want to try their first idea right off; and the result is they use up lots of money and lots of good material, only to find eventually that they are working in the wrong direction. We all make mistakes, and it is better to make them before we begin."

-- Nikola Tesla

But they need not meet as adversaries, for they are reconciled in the Atonement of Jesus Christ for all who wisely use Today.”
