"Engineering is the art of modelling materials we do not wholly understand, into shapes we cannot precisely analyze so as to withstand forces we cannot properly assess, in such a way that the public has no reason to suspect the extent of our ignorance."

Apart from enjoying the humor of this quote, it is a reminder to me that the most valuable asset of a good engineer is his own judgement.
