I never pick up an item without thinking of how I might improve it.

My success is due more to my ability to work continuously on one thing without stopping than to any other single quality.

Invention is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration.

Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.

Be courageous! Have faith! Go forward.

There seems to be no limit to which some men will go to avoid the labor of thinking. Thinking is hard work.

I get my ideas from listening from within.
