“Continued innovation is the best way to beat the competition.”
“When we learn how to store electricity, we will cease being apes ourselves; until then we are tailless orangutans. You see, we should utilize natural forces and thus get all of our power. Sunshine is a form of energy, and the winds and the tides are manifestations of energy. Do we use them? Oh, no! We burn up wood and coal, as renters burn up the front fence for fuel. We live like squatters, not as if we owned the property.”
“I didn't fail 1000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1000 steps.”

“Meet your failure nobly, and it will not differ from success.”
“If you fail, never give up because F.A.I.L. means "first Attempt In Learning".”
“Failure is an inside job. So is success. If you want to achieve, you have to win the war in your thinking first. You can't let the failure outside you get inside you.”
