The scientist, the engineer, the constructive individual in every department of work, uses the imagination quite as much as the artist — for the imagination is not a decorator and embellisher. It is a creator and constructor. Wherever work is done along great lines, or life is lived in fields of constant abundance, the imagination is always the central and shaping power. Winston Churchill lifted statesmanship to a lofty plane by the use of it. Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla showed the world its magical quality. And many a millionaire owes their success more to imagination than to practical sagacity and factual knowledge.
