Quotes

• “We live in a world changing so rapidly that what we mean frequently by common sense is doing the thing that would have been right last year.”
• “Now, partly that was work, and partly that was brains, but very largely it was having the guts, the guts to be immodest in the right way.”
• “One of the best ways to keep a great secret is to shout it.”
• “In a few wretched buildings, we created a whole new industry with international significance.”
• “The world is a scene changing so rapidly that it takes every bit of intuitive ability you have, every brain cell each one of you has, to make the sensible decision about what to do next. You cannot rely upon what you have been taught. All you have learned from history is old ways of making mistakes. There is nothing that history can tell you about what we must do tomorrow. Only what we must not do.”
• “An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail. Scientists made a great invention by calling their activities hypotheses and experiments. They made it permissible to fail repeatedly until in the end they got the results they wanted. In politics or government, if you made a hypothesis and it didn't work out, you had your head cut off.”
