“Our existing thinking habits are excellent, just as the rear wheels of a motor car are excellent, but not enough.”

An expert is someone who has succeeded in making decisions and judgements simpler through knowing what to pay attention to and what to ignore.

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

Traditional thinking is all about “what is” Future thinking will also need to be about what can be.

There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all. Without creativity, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns.

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.

There’s a danger in the internet and social media. The notion that information is enough, that more and more information is enough, that you don’t have to think, you just have to get more information – gets very dangerous.

There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all.

Don’t criticise a hypothesis, come up with a better one.
