My main purpose in life is to make enough money to create ever more inventions…. The dove is my emblem…. I want to save and advance human life, not destroy it…. I am proud of the fact that I have never invented weapons to kill….

If I had not had so much ambition and not tried to do so many things, I probably would have been happier, but less useful.

I will not say I failed 1000 times, I will say that I discovered there are 1000 ways that can cause failure

Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration.

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

As Danand Ian over at the Lifestyle Business Podcast say: Rush to failure.

I would rather have one man with enthusiasm working with me than ten who are complacent.
