Sometimes when you innovate, you make mistakes. It is best to admit them quickly, and get on with improving your other innovations.

The truth of Moore’s law has made remarkable things possible. On the software side, I think natural user interfaces in all their forms are equally significant.

Without deviation progress is not possible.

Men have a respect for scholarship and learning greatly out of proportion to the use they commonly serve.

Computers themselves, and software yet to be developed, will revolutionize the way we learn.

A person with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds.

And I saw the sax line-up that he had behind him and I thought, I’m going to learn the saxophone. When I grow up, I’m going to play in his band. So I sort of persuaded my dad to get me a kind of a plastic saxophone on the hire purchase plan.

Computers are still technology because we are still wrestling with it: it’s still being invented; we’re still trying to work out how it works. There’s a world of game interaction to come that you or I wouldn’t recognise. It’s time for the machines to disappear. The computer’s got to disappear into all of the things we use.

We could definitely make a flying car – but that’s not the hard part. The hard part is, how do you make a flying car that’s super safe and quiet? Because if it’s a howler, you’re going to make people very unhappy.

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

He who knows best knows how little he knows.

For instance, I’m always fascinated to see whether, given the kind of fairly known and established form called popular music, whether there is some magic combination that nobody has hit upon before.

I never let schooling interfere with my education.

Think off-center.

Personally, I would be delighted if there were a life after death, especially if it permitted me to continue to learn about this world and others, if it gave me a chance to discover how history turns out.

To share the dressing room of club and country with Bhai was an amazing experience. I learnt a lot from him and other senior players like Renedy Singh.

The great liability of the engineer compared to men of other professions is that his works are out in the open where all can see them. His acts, step by step, are in hard substance. He cannot bury his mistakes in the grave like the doctors. He cannot argue them into thin air or blame the judge like the lawyers.

You can’t really imagine music without technology.

People usually think according to their inclinations, speak according to their learning and ingrained opinions, but generally act according to custom.

If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.

The biggest risk is not taking any risk… In a world that is changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.

As we advance in life we learn the limits of our abilities.

Knowledge slowly builds up what Ignorance in an hour pulls down.

The absolute transformation of everything that we ever thought about music will take place within 10 years, and nothing is going to be able to stop it. I see absolutely no point in pretending that it’s not going to happen. I’m fully confident that copyright, for instance, will no longer exist in 10 years.

We must develop as quickly as possible technologies that make possible a direct connection between brain and computer, so that artificial brains contribute to human intelligence rather than opposing it.

Flying cars are not a very efficient way to move things from one point to another.

As a country, we can’t teach kids how to read and write when we got 18 years to do it. And that’s – that’s a disgrace.

Friendship… is not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything.

Doubt grows with knowledge.

I think a role model is a mentor – someone you see on a daily basis, and you learn from them.

If I were again beginning my studies, I would follow the advice of Plato and start with mathematics.

The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future in life.

I think a lot of things that are the norm, that are very systematic, don’t work.

When you campaign and have to participate in so many debates just to the win the nomination of your party, you’ve had a lot of practice. You get to figure out as you go from one debate to another where you made your mistakes. By the time you get to the big debate you’re pretty polished.

Here’s what I’ve learned about deal-breakers. If you have enough natural chemistry with someone, you overlook every single thing that you said would break the deal.

Education must provide the opportunities for self-fulfillment; it can at best provide a rich and challenging environment for the individual to explore, in his own way.

Start with God – the first step in learning is bowing down to God; only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning.

I’m often accused of being ahead of my time, but it’s simply not true. The truth is that everybody else is behind.

You can’t score if you’re turning it over. It’s like a punt. If you go out and you punt 12 times, you’re not scoring points. That’s not good. So, when you turn the ball over and throw interceptions, you’re giving the other team more opportunities and your team less opportunities.

On the court, I want to try and get to the free-throw line a little more. And as a point guard, you can always get better at your decision-making and limiting your mistakes.

The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.

If you don’t feel safe as a child, you can’t learn.

Read about history, and you become aware that nothing starts with us.

Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things.

The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is a knowledge of our own ignorance.

I can see clearly now… that I was wrong in not acting more decisively and more forthrightly in dealing with Watergate.

One of the very important characteristics of a student is to question. Let the students ask questions.

Education is the period during which you are being instructed by somebody you do not know, about something you do not want to know.

I was a housewife, so I learned to write in times off, and I don’t think I ever gave it up, though there were times when I was very discouraged because I began to see that the stories I was writing were not very good, that I had a lot to learn, and that it was a much, much harder job than I had expected.

My task over the last two years hasn’t just been to stop the bleeding. My task has also been to try to figure out how do we address some of the structural problems in the economy that have prevented more Googles from being created.

We’re taking all of the lessons that we have from New Shepard and incorporating them into New Glenn.

We want Facebook to be one of the best places people can go to learn how to build stuff. If you want to build a company, nothing better than jumping in and trying to build one. But Facebook is also great for entrepreneurs/hackers. If people want to come for a few years and move on and build something great, that’s something we’re proud of.

Oh! Most miserable wretch that I am! Why have I not learnt how to swim?

Well, I was 29 years old when I came to the United States Senate, and I have learned a lot.

To discover and know has always been a deep tendency of our nature. Can we not recognize it already in caveman?

As our case is new, we must think and act anew.

As everything becomes digitized, there’s the idea that things that can’t be digitized become more valuable.

Anybody who tells you that a two-day conference, you’re going to turn into the General Patton of leadership, they’re not telling you the truth. But you can learn the fundamentals; you can absolutely understand the fundamentals.

It is better to be high-spirited even though one makes more mistakes, than to be narrow-minded and all too prudent.

On the RFactor model that comes with the ‚Pro-Sim,‘ everything is balanced and measured. If you go up on the rear ride height, for example, it changes the airflow and the downforce of the car. You learn by trying different things, which gives you a better idea when you’re on a race weekend.

There is a real danger that computers will develop intelligence and take over. We urgently need to develop direct connections to the brain so that computers can add to human intelligence rather than be in opposition.
