An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: What does happen is that the opponents gradually die out.

Innovation comes from collaboration and openness.

Any conversation I have about innovation starts with the ultimate goal.

Too many rules with stifle innovation.

Innovation is the key to success.

The greatest innovation of the 21st century will be the intersection of biology and technology.

Innovation is not just about technology. It’s about finding new ways to solve problems.

From an app point of view, if you looked at innovation on the PC, you’d be hard pressed to find companies innovating. The list is small.

Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.

Innovation is the key to unlocking the potential of any business.

Those that believe this is merely a downturn are mad. Our industry is going to mature and as something matures, the rate of innovation does slow.

Being innovative means being willing to take risks and embrace uncertainty.

You have to combine both things: invention and innovation focus, plus the company that can commercialize things and get them to people.

We should foster a spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship.

Innovation and entrepreneurship drive economic growth.

Innovation can only occur where you can breathe free.

Government policies should support entrepreneurship and innovation.

Economic growth is driven by innovation, competition, and investment in human capital.

A free market is the best mechanism for allocating resources and fostering innovation.

Innovation in engineering requires both a deep understanding of existing technologies and a vision for new possibilities.

Innovation in film often comes from unexpected places.

The university is to be a temple, and a joke; the temple stands for the unshakable orthodoxy, the joke for the creative innovation.

There is romance, the genuine glinting stuff, in typewriters, and not merely in their development from clumsy giants into agile dwarfs, but in the history of their manufacture, which is filled with raids, battles, lonely pioneers, great gambles, hope, fear, despair, triumph. If some of our novels could be written by the typewriters instead of on them, how much better they would be.

Memorable people do memorable things. Followers are seldom remembered. The herd mentality is the killer of innovation. When appropriate, be bold in your undertakings.

The days are over when technology can be advanced in laboratories by individual scientists alone. Now you need an army of lawyers to negotiate the hazardous terrain of interlocking patents. Unless we find a solution to the problem of interlocking patents, the patent system may actually impede the very innovation it was designed to encourage.

I think frugality drives innovation, just like other constraints do. One of the only ways to get out of a tight box is to invent your way out

Freedom, the first-born of science.

If you want something you’ve never had, you must be willing to do something you’ve never done.

I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.

Not everything of value in life comes from books- experience the world.

Great ideas originate in the muscles

Results! Why, man, I have gotten a lot of results. I know several thousand things that won’t work

Someday, man will harness the rise and fall of the tides, imprison the power of the sun, and release atomic power

Restlessness is discontent and discontent is the first necessity of progress. Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure

valThe value of an idea lies in the using of it

Negative results are just what I want. They’re just as valuable to me as positive results. I can never find the thing that does the job best until I find the ones that don’t

I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that. I wish I had more years left

I never did anything by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work

Hell, there are no rules here – we’re trying to accomplish something

There’s a way to do it better – find it

In order for innovation to happen, a bunch of things that aren’t happening on closed platforms need to occur. Valve wouldn’t exist today without the PC, or Epic, or Zynga, or Google. They all wouldn’t have existed without the openness of the platform.

Don’t impersonate. Innovate.

Those who create are rare; those who cannot are numerous. Therefore, the latter are stronger.

Innovation! One cannot be forever innovating. I want to create classics.

Failure is an option here. If things are not failing, you are not innovating enough.

Entrepreneurs innovate. Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship. It is the act that endows resources with a new capacity to create wealth. Innovation, indeed, creates a resource. There is no such thing as a ‘resource’ until man finds a use for something in nature and thus endows it with economic value. Until then, every plant is a weed and every mineral just another rock.

An established company which, in an age demanding innovation, is not able to innovation, is doomed to decline and extinction.

Innovation opportunities do not come with the tempest but with the rustling of the breeze.

Above all, innovation is not invention. It is a term of economics rather than of technology.

What we need is an entrepreneurial society in which innovation and entrepreneurship are normal, steady and continuous.

Knowledge is the source of Wealth. Applied to tasks we already know, it becomes Productivity. Applied to tasks that are new, it becomes Innovation.

Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship. The act that endows resources with a new capacity to create wealth.

Since we live in an age of innovation, a practical education must prepare a man for work that does not yet exist and cannot yet be clearly defined.

Managing innovation will increasingly become a challenge to management, and especially to top management, and a touchstone of its competence.

Innovation is the specific tool of entrepreneurs, the means by which they exploit change as an opportunity for a different business or a different service.

Making changes to better appeal to customer is INNOVATION.

Marketing and innovation make money. Everything else is a cost.

Because its purpose is to create a customer, the business has two and only two functions: Marketing and Innovation. Marketing and Innovation produce results. All the rest are costs.

There are only two things in a business that make money – innovation and marketing, everything else is cost.

God is going to reveal to us things He never revealed before if we put our hands in His. No books ever go into my laboratory. The thing I am to do and the way of doing it are revealed to me. I never have to grope for methods. The method is revealed to me the moment I am inspired to create something new. Without God to draw aside the curtain I would be helpless.

Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time.

Doing it your own way, not having to go exactly by the book to be successful.

I would never connect to a sound, I change it.

We’re a sleepy nation right now. I want us to be a nation of innovation.

Cutting the deficit by gutting our investments in innovation and education is like lightening an overloaded airplane by removing its engine. It may make you feel like you’re flying high at first, but it won’t take long before you feel the impact.

We know that the nation that goes all-in on innovation today will own the global economy tomorrow. This is an edge America cannot surrender.

Software innovation, like almost every other kind of innovation, requires the ability to collaborate and share ideas with other people, and to sit down and talk with customers and get their feedback and understand their needs.

I believe in innovation and that the way you get innovation is you fund research and you learn the basic facts

Innovation is moving at a scarily fast pace.

Business has only two functions – marketing and innovation.

Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive.

Whenever I go on a ride, I’m always thinking of what’s wrong with the thing and how it can be improved.

It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.

Times and conditions change so rapidly that we must keep our aim constantly focused on the future.
