So may it be…

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (Dec. 17, 2010) — “So may it be; let us hope that the advent of a successful flying machine…will bring nothing but good into the world; that it shall abridge distance, make all parts of the globe accessible, bring men into closer relation with each other, advance civilisation, and hasten the promised era in which there shall be nothing but peace and good will among all men.”
    – Octave Chanute, 1894
