It is a curious property of research activity that after the problem has been solved the solution seems obvious. This is true not only for those who have not previously been acquainted with the problem, but also for those who have worked over it for years.

My motto is very personal and may not fit anyone else or any other company. It is: Don't do anything that someone else can do. Don't undertake a project unless it is manifestly important and nearly impossible.

We live in a world changing so rapidly that what we mean frequently by common sense is doing the thing that would have been right last year.

If you are able to state a problem - any problem - and if it is important enough, then the problem can be solved.

I have long aspired to make our company a noble prototype of industry, penetrating in science, reliable in engineering, creative in aesthetics and wholesomely prosperous in economics.

The second great product of industry should be the rewarding life for every person

Anything worth doing is worth doing to excess.
