I believe in the existence of a Supreme Intelligence pervading the Universe.

To me, the idea and expectation that the day is slowly and surely coming when we will be able to honestly say we are our brother's keeper and not his oppressor is very beautiful .

My principal business is giving commercial value to the brilliant - but misdirected - ideas of others.

I have had a lot of success with failure

Most of my ideas belonged to other people who never bothered to develop them.

I am both pleased but astonished by the fact that mankind has not yet begun to use all the means and devices that are available for destruction. I hope that such weapons are never manufactured in quantity.

To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.
