一、戈达德：慎言不可能，昨日之梦想，今日有希望，明日变现实

   著名科学家、液态燃料火箭发明人戈达德有句名言：

   “慎言不可能，昨日之梦想，今日有希望，明日变现实。”

   原来是 1904年，戈达德（22岁）在高中毕业演讲中说的：“很难说什么是不可能的，昨天的梦想是今天的希望，也是明天的现实。 It is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.”

二、类似的观点

   孔子在《论语·卫灵公》中说：

   “工欲善其事，必先利其器。”

   老子《道德经》第五十四章：

   “故以身观身，以家观家，以乡观乡，以国观国，以天下观天下。吾何以知天下然哉？以此”。

   以及和现代的 Chaitin 定理（1966年）很像。

   Goddard

   In the United States, Robert Hutchings Goddard became interested in space exploration after reading works such as The War of the Worlds. Even as a young man, he dedicated himself to working on spaceflight. In his 1904 high-school graduation speech, he stated that “it is difficult to say what is impossible, for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.”
