When I was research head of General Motors and wanted a problem solved, I'd place a table outside the meeting room with a sign: LEAVE SLIDE RULES HERE! If I didn't do that, I'd find some engineer reaching for his slide rule. Then he'd be on his feet saying, Boss you can't do that.

It's amazing what ordinary people can do if they set out without preconceived notions.
|
You can't have a better tomorrow if you are thinking about yesterday all the time.

We should all be concerned about the future because we will have to spend the rest of our lives there.
|
A person must have a certain amount of intelligent ignorance to get anywhere.
|
An inventor is simply a fellow who doesn't take his education too seriously.
|
A problem well stated is a problem half solved.
