My father spent his entire early career as an illustrator for comic books: EC Comics like 'Tales from the Crypt' and 'Creepshow, ' then moving on to such magazines as 'Mad' and 'Weird Science.'

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.

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

We look forward to the time when the Power of Love will replace the Love of Power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace.

God says when. I execute.

Wit had conquered science by laughing it out of court.

Steam in an open space would just simply scatter in different directions. Steam contained in an engine can move a whole train. Success comes from One-pointedness and Constancy of Aim and Effort.

We've had many times when a judge makes decisions that are inaccurate, and that's why we have an appeal processes

Hi. There was a big accident, some people got decapitated, here are their names... You know what? That shirt really makes you look fat. I mean, the colour's all wrong... I mean, who shot the drapes?

A speech is entertaining only when serenely detached from all information.

I want to set an example that will never be forgotten.

Every man should own a navy cashmere jacket with gold buttons, a grey suit, black shoes shoes for the city, brown shoes for elsewhere. Everything else should be simple and really well made.

Without women, we stood in space on one leg only.
