An inventor is simply a fellow who doesn't take his education too seriously.

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

This problem, too, will look simple after it is solved.

Believe and act as if it were impossible to fail.

I expect to spend the rest of my life in the future, so I want to be reasonably sure of what kind of future it's going to be. That is my reason for planning.

People think of the inventor as a screwball, but no one ever asks the inventor what he thinks of other people.

My definition of an educated man is the fellow who knows the right thing to do at the time it has to be done. You can be sincere and still be stupid.
