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.

We suffer not from overproduction but from undercirculation. You have heard of technocracy. I wish I had those fellows for my competitors. I'd like to take the automobile it is said they predicted could be made now that would last fifty years. Even if never used, this automobile would not be worth anything except to a junkman in ten years, because of the changes in men's tastes and ideas. This desire for change is an inherent quality in human nature, so that the present generation must not try to crystallize the needs of the future ones.

It is the 'follow through' that makes the great difference between ultimate success and failure, because it is so easy to stop.

An inventor fails 999 times, and if he succeeds once, he's in. He treats his failures simply as practice shots.

The opportunities in this world are as great as we have the imagination to see them... but we never get that view from the bottom of the nest.

We are just in the kindergarten of uncovering things; there is no downcurve in science.
