STOP AND THINK – What a man’s mind can create, man’s character can control. (Thomas Edison, 19th-20th century American inventor)
Is Edison saying that a creative inventor would naturally see that his creations were put always and only to moral purposes by ethical means for the good of society? More likely, he was implying that inventions will be put to good and proper use only if the inventor is a person of good character.
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. (James 3:13)
