Personally, I enjoy working about 18 hours a day. Besides the short catnaps I take each day, I average about four to five hours of sleep per night.

The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and prevent disease with nutrition.

I find my greatest pleasure, and so my reward, in the work that precedes what the world calls success.

The value of a good idea is in using it.

Every failure is a lesson learned about your strategy.

Most of the exercise I get is from standing and walking around laboratory tables all day. I derive more benefit and entertainment from this than some of my friends and competitors get from playing games like golf.

I am more of a sponge than an inventor. I absorb ideas from every source. I take half-matured schemes for mechanical development and make them practical. I am a sort of a middleman between the long-haired and impractical inventor and the hard-headed business man who measures all things in terms of dollars and cents. My principal business is giving commercial value to the brilliant but misdirected ideas of others.
