People are very open-minded about new things - as long as they're exactly like the old ones.

If you're doing something the same way you have been doing it for ten years, the chances are you are doing it wrong.

I don't want men of experience working for me. The experienced man is always telling me why something can't be done. The fellow who has not had any experience is so dumb he doesn't know a thing can't be done - and he goes ahead and does it.

Obsolescence is a factor which says that the new thing I bring you is worth more than the unused value of the old thing.

We need to teach the highly educated man that it is not a disgrace to fail and that he must analyze every failure to find its cause. He must learn how to fail intelligently, for failing is one of the greatest arts in the world.

The biggest job we have is to teach a newly hired employee how to fail intelligently. We have to train him to experiment over and over and to keep on trying and failing until he learns what will work.
