Robert H Goddard Quotes

It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.

Just remember - when you think all is lost, the future remains.

The reason many people fail is not for lack of vision but for lack of resolve and resolve is born out of counting the cost.

[J]ust as in the sciences we have learned that we are too ignorant to safely pronounce anything impossible, so for the individual, since we cannot know just what are his limitations, we can hardly say with certainty that anything is necessarily within or beyond his grasp. Each must remember that no one can predict to what heights of wealth, fame, or usefulness he may rise until he has honestly endeavored, and he should derive courage from the fact that all sciences have been, at some time, in the same condition as he, and that it has often proved true that the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.

Goddard was not personally religious; his most immediate and consistent motivation was a desire for recognition as the founding genius of rocket science.
