I think our society is no longer properly valuing the intangible potential of innovation, even if we have to be a little uncomfortable with the risks associated with it, and a little bit willing to fail, pick ourselves up and dust ourselves off and try again. We don’t seem to want to do that as much as we used too.

An innovation is one of those things that society looks at and says, if we make this part of the way we live and work, it will change the way we live and work.

Whatever the marketplace, if talented people are given resources, they're going to keep driving us to having better, simpler, cheaper solutions to problems.

Segway will be to the car what the car was to the horse and buggy.

I'd rather lose my own money than someone else's.

As we move towards 8 or 10 billion people on the planet, there's a little less gold per capita. Each one of us will continue to be fighting over an ever smaller percentage of total resources. This is not a happy thought

Everybody has to be able to participate in a future that they want to live for. That's what technology can do.
