2. Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.
3. To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.
4. Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it's useless.
5. I never did a day's work in my life. It was all fun.
6. Your worth consists in what you are and not in what you have.
7. The chief function of the body is to carry the brain around.
8. We don't know a millionth of one percent about anything.
9. To have a great idea, have a lot of them.
