“Maybe the social value of truth is as a destination – so long as we do not assume we have arrived there.”

You hold onto religion, you know, rules, regulations, traditions. I think what God is interested in is people’s hearts, and that’s hard enough.

A good design is not a democratic consensus.

Every valuable creative idea must always be logical in hindsight. If it were not, we would never be able to see its value.

You can analyse the past, but you need to design the future. That is the difference between suffering the future and enjoying it.

We may have a perfectly adequate way of doing something, but that does not mean there cannot be a better way. So we set out to find an alternative way. This is the basis of any improvement that is not fault correction or problem solving.

Child mortality since 2000 is down by 2.65 million a year. That’s a rate of 7,256 children’s lives saved each day. It drives me nuts that most people don’t seem to know this news.

The simple process of focusing on things that are normally taken for granted is a powerful source of creativity.

Opportunity ideas do not lie around waiting to be discovered. Such ideas need to be produced.

Although feelings are not supposed to intrude on business discussions, they do anyway – we just disguise them as logic.

If you meditate and the Devil comes, make the Devil meditate.

It seldom happens that a premature shoot of genius ever arrives at maturity.

That which prematurely arrives at perfection soon perishes.

But when the morning arrives we will be all right.
