Inventor Quotes

A designer is an emerging synthesis of artist, inventor, mechanic, objective economist and evolutionary strategist Picture Quote #1

Newton, of course, was the inventor of differential calculus so his place in the tale is quite special Picture Quote #1

It is certainly true that reason is the most important and the highest rank among all things and, in comparison with other things of this life, the best and something divine. It is the inventor and mentor of all the arts, medicines, laws, and of whatever wisdom, power, virtue, and glory men possess in this life Picture Quote #1

Archimedes was my ideal. I admired the works of artists, but to my mind, they were only shadows and semblances. The inventor, I thought, gives to the world creations which are palpable, which live and work Picture Quote #1

I consider myself an inventor first and an entrepreneur second. In real life, my hero is Thomas Edison. He was a great inventor, but also an outstanding entrepreneur who was able to sell his inventions to the masses. He didn’t just develop the light bulb; he invented the entire electric grid and power distribution system Picture Quote #1

The spinning wheel is itself an exquisite piece of machinery. My head daily bows in reverence to its unknown inventor Picture Quote #1

I don’t mind that Bill Gates is a mega zillionaire; he’s done a lot of really interesting and innovative stuff. I do mind that a lot of unworthy people rode his coattails to minizillionaire status, e.g. the inventor of Hungarian notation, probably the dumbest widely-promulgated idea in the history of the field Picture Quote #1

Japan’s very interesting. Some people think it copies things. I don’t think that anymore. I think what they do is reinvent things. They will get something that’s already been invented and study it until they thoroughly understand it. In some cases, they understand it better than the original inventor Picture Quote #1

Perspective, as its inventor remarked, is a beautiful thing. What horrors of damp huts, where human beings languish, may not become picturesque through aerial distance! Picture Quote #1

You can be anything. You could be the President of the United States or the inventor of the next Internet or a ninja cardio-thoracic surgeon poet, which would be awesome because you would be the first one Picture Quote #1

In the two million years during which we climbed from stone-tool-wielding Homo erectus with sloping brows to high-foreheaded Homo urbanis - man, the inventor of the city - we underwent 60 glaciations, 60 ice ages Picture Quote #1

My mother was a piano teacher, my father an inventor. He invented the reflective paint they still use on airstrips. They had faith in my ambition, and I think that made all the difference Picture Quote #1

I regret that after 30 years of writing columns in this market, including ten with this newspaper that I love very much, this local conversation has come to an end. However, I believe that if the newspapers of the country pool their resources, we can send an Arnold-Schwartzenegger-style robot back in time to kill the inventor of the Internet, and then our future will be much brighter Picture Quote #1

I do not think there is any thrill that can go through the human heart like that felt by the inventor as he sees some creation of the brain unfolding to success... such emotions make a man forget food, sleep, friends, love, everything Picture Quote #1

There must be a way to get more of these in me faster, thought the inventor of pea soup as he sat eating peas Picture Quote #1

I always knew I wanted to be a technologist, so I went to Duke and got a degree in computer science and electrical engineering. Really, I thought my goal in life was to be an inventor, a problem solver, so I thought I needed a Ph.D. to be good at inventions, but it turns out that you don’t Picture Quote #1

If it weren’t for Philo T. Farnsworth, inventor of television, we’d still be eating frozen radio dinners Picture Quote #1

I have always thought of myself as an inventor first and foremost. An engineer. An entrepreneur. In that order. I never thought of myself as an employee. But my first jobs as an adult were as an employee: at IBM, and then at my first start-up Picture Quote #1

In the culture of America, in a free culture, you get what you celebrate. And in this culture, we have two obsessions, become a group that becomes a group that celebrates sports heroes and entertainment heroes. There’s no room left for kids to see even a little bit of the opportunities to really, really get excited about becoming an inventor, an engineer, or a scientist, a problem solver Picture Quote #1

Blessings be the inventor of the alphabet, pen and printing press! Life would be -- to me in all events -- a terrible thing without books Picture Quote #1

I maintain that many an inventor, many a diplomat, many a financier is a sounder philosopher than all those who practice the dull craft of experimental psychology Picture Quote #1

As the inventor of the Immortality Device, I basically just tell people what I honestly think Picture Quote #1

An inventor fails 999 times, and if he succeeds once, he's in. He treats his failures simply as practice shots Picture Quote #1

The inventor is a man who looks around upon the world and is not contented with things as they are. He wants to improve whatever he sees, he wants to benefit the world; he is haunted by an idea. The spirit of invention possesses him, seeking materialization Picture Quote #1

When the inventor of the drawing board messed things up, what did he go back to? Picture Quote #1

A composer is not only an architect but also an inventor, and he should not build houses in which he cannot live Picture Quote #1

Thought experiment is in any case a necessary precondition for physical experiment. Every experimenter and inventor must have the planned arrangement in his head before translating it into fact Picture Quote #1

An inventor is one who can see the applicability of means to supply demand five years before it is obvious to those skilled in the art Picture Quote #1

In other words, what is supposedly found is an invention whose inventor is unaware of his act of invention, who considers it as something that exists independently of him; the invention then becomes the basis of his world view and actions Picture Quote #1

My dad was an inventor, and I think I’ve always had a rosy view of technology, or at least its potential Picture Quote #1
