Science is Connected to Prosperity
The progression of physical science is much more connected with your prosperity than is usually imagined. You owe to experimental philosophy some of the most important and peculiar of your advantages. It is not by foreign conquests chiefly that you are become great, but by a conquest of nature in your own country. Greatness comes not from the conquest of foreign nations, but from the conquest of nature in your own country.
