Success depends on how many experiments you can fit into 24 hours

Life's most soothing things are a child's goodnight and sweet music.

The reason a lot of people do not recognize opportunity is because it usually goes around wearing overalls looking like hard work.

Failure is the most effective technique to optimize strategic planning, implementation and processes.

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.

Because ideas have to be original only with regard to their adaptation to the problem at hand, I am always extremely interested in how others have used used them.

Success is the result of hard work.
