Things that are complex are not useful, Things that are useful are simple.

Life is composed of different inventions.

I would prefer to have invented a machine that people could use and that would help farmers with their work - for example a lawnmower.

I was trying to perform as best as possible. I was a boy at the time, but worked well with the sickle.

It is the Germans who are responsible for the fact that I became a fabricator of arms. If not for them, I would have constructed agricultural machines. (...) If someone asks me how I can sleep at night knowing that my arms have killed millions of people, I respond that I have no problem sleeping, my conscience is clean. I constructed arms to defend my country.

The AK-47 is not a device of aggression ... I devised this machine-gun for the security of my country.

Terrorists also want to use simple and reliable arms.
