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

All human development, no matter what form it takes, must be outside the rules; otherwise we would never have anything new.

I am not interested in the past. I am interested in the future, for that is where I expect to spend the rest of my life.

Research is an organized method of trying to find out what you are going to do after you cannot do what you are doing now. It may also be said to be the method of keeping a customer reasonably dissatisfied with what he has. That means constant improvement and change so that the customer will be stimulated to desire the new product enough to buy it to replace the one he has.

In many ways ideas are more important than people - they are much more permanent.

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.
