I often say that research is a way of finding out what you are going to do when you can't keep on doing what you are doing now.

There exist limitless opportunities in every industry. Where there is an open mind, there will always be a frontier.

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.

No one would have crossed the ocean if he could have gotten off the ship in the storm.

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 easy to build a philosophy - it doesn't have to run

Do not bring me your successes; they weaken me. Bring me your problems; they strengthen me.
