Truly great madness cannot be achieved without significant intelligence.

To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk

Never fight an inanimate object

To avoid situations in which you might make mistakes may be the
biggest mistake of all

Quality means doing it right when no one is looking.

You've achieved success in your field when you don't know whether what
you're doing is work or play

To achieve the impossible dream, try going to sleep.

Facts do not cease to exist because they are ignored.
