“As a child I would just question things.”

Give people their freedom back!

I hate writing about personal stuff. I don’t have a Facebook page. I don’t use my Twitter account. I am familiar with both, but I don’t use them.

The only reason I was able to accomplish things is the great people willing to work with me.

My mentality is that of a samurai. I would rather commit seppuku than fail.

I’ve actually not read any books on time management.

Persistence is very important. You should not give up unless you are forced to give up.

You want to have a future where you’re expecting things to be better, not one where you’re expecting things to be worse.

For my part, I will never give up, and I mean never.

When I was in college, I wanted to be involved in things that would change the world.

It’s OK to have your eggs in one basket as long as you control what happens to that basket.

I think life on Earth must be about more than just solving problems. It’s got to be something inspiring, even if it is vicarious.

Tesla is here to stay and keep fighting for the electric car revolution.

You could warm Mars up, over time, with greenhouse gases.

Engineering is the closest thing to magic that exists in the world.

Mars is to Earth, as Terminus was to Trantor.

Weighing too much on someone’s talent and not someone’s personality. I think it matters whether someone has a good heart.

Is adult amusement killing our children, or is killing our children amusing adults?

Basically, I believe the world is a jungle, and if it’s not a bit of a jungle in the home, a child cannot possibly be fit to enter the outside world.

I firmly believe, however, that if your children have never hated you, you have failed as a parent.

I want to inspire kids.

That’s really what my work is all about – bringing kids together.

If you’ve never been hated by your child, you’ve never been a parent.

If men found out how to give birth to children they’ll never propose again.

Teach you children poetry; it opens the mind, lends grace to wisdom and makes the heroic virtues hereditary.
