“No child should be brought up to suppose that its food and clothes come down from heaven or are miraculously conjured from empty space by papa. Loathsome as we have made the idea of duty (like the idea of work) we must habituate children to a sense of repayable obligation to the community for what they consume and enjoy, and inculcate the repayment as a point of honor.”
“Heartbreak is life educating us.”
“[...] any fool can make a discovery. Every baby has to discover more in the first years of its life than Roger Bacon ever discovered in his laboratory.”

“Combinatory play seems to be the essential feature in productive thought.”
“You have to start somewhere. You can always erase reality later on.”
More on Innovation
“I believe that every life is valuable. That we can make things better. That innovation is the key to a bright future. That we're just getting started.”
“Invention breeds invention.”
“I might say that what amateurs call a style is usually only the unavoidable awkwardnesses in first trying to make something that has not heretofore been made.”
