I started realizing that I wasn't so dumb; rather, most people simply didn't know the answers to the questions that I was interested in-or they didn't care

My biggest worry is I'm running out of time and energy. Thirty years ago I thought 10 years was a really long time.

A patent, or invention, is any assemblage of technologies or ideas that you can put together that nobody put together that way before. That's how the patent office defines it. That's an invention

An innovation is one of those things that society looks at and says, if we make this part of the way we live and work, it will change the way we live and work.

Most of the time you will fail, but you will also occasionally succeed. Those occasional successes make all the hard work and sacrifice worthwhile.

Life is so short. Why waste a single day of it doing something that doesn't matter, that doesn't try to do something big?

I do not want to waste any time. And if you are not working on important things, you are wasting time.

It’s not what you do – it’s what you are becoming.

The city needs a car like a fish needs a bicycle.

I don't work on a project unless I believe that it will dramatically improve life for a bunch of people.

Inspiration comes from the heart. The letter ‘I’ is the heart of F”I”RST… (F Inspiration R S T).

Whether you convert that diminishing life into something or you don’t convert it to anything is up to you. The life will keep on reducing and diminishing.

All men are created equal, it is only men themselves who place themselves above equality.

I have had the opportunity to become acquainted with many wonderful people from many walks of life. I have known rich and poor, famous and modest, wise and otherwise.

Social Security is a family insurance program, not an investment scheme.

Climate change is a reality and if left unchecked, rising ocean tides will harm Georgia's Atlantic coast and threaten our state's robust tourism and shipping industries.

In New York City there are interesting characters and there are interesting stories. There's a story on every street corner. I love it. I think that's what really attracts me to making films.

The Road to Santiago is the road of ordinary people.

There are two sides of me, the bachata/tropical Latin side and the English pop as well. They're both equally important, so I'll always make sure to keep both roots in my music.

Age considers; youth ventures.

There is no foreign land; it is the traveller only that is foreign.
