Invention Quotes

• “An inventor is simply a person who doesn’t take his education too seriously. You see, from the time a person is six years old until he graduates form college he has to take three or four examinations a year. If he flunks once, he is out. But an inventor is almost always failing. He tries and fails maybe a thousand times. It he succeeds once then he’s in. These two things are diametrically opposite. We often say that the biggest job we have is to teach a newly hired employee how to fail intelligently. We have to train him to experiment over and over and to keep on trying and failing until he learns what will work.” ~ Charles F. Kettering
• “To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.”  ~ Thomas A. Edison
• “The world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can’t be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it.”  ~ Elbert Hubbard
• “The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.”  ~ Nikola Tesla
• “If you always do what you always did, you will always get what you always got.”  ~ Albert Einstein
• “The key to success is for you to make a habit throughout your life of doing the things you fear.”  ~ Vincent Van Gogh
