“In the annals of innovation, new ideas are only part of the equation. Execution is just as important.”

“Even the highest compensation is a tiny fraction of the value created by many business and technical innovations. The problem with executive compensation in the United States is not with this idea. The problem is that in many cases the high compensation levels persist even when innovations do not occur and reactions to the innovations of others are slow.”

“It is important to foster individuality, for only the individual can produce the new ideas.”

“There are no bad ideas. Only bad executions.”

“Most people, it seems like they've only got one part of the equation down. Caring for themselves, or caring for someone else. And I'v learned how important it is to have both.”

“just as energy is the basis of life itself,and ideas the source of innovation,so is innovation the vital spark of all human change,improvement and progress”
