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.

We must look forward to the future as that is where most of us will be spending the rest of our lives.

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

Every honest researcher I know admits he's just a professional amateur. He's doing whatever he's doing for the first time. That makes him an amateur. He has sense enough to know that he's going to have a lot of trouble, so that makes him a professional.

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

Our imagination is the only limit to what we can hope to have in the future.

It is not a disgrace to fail. Failing is one of the greatest arts in the world.
