Among other possibilities, money was invented to make it possible for a foolish man to control wise men; a weak man, strong men; a child, old men; an ignorant man, knowledgeable men; and for a dwarf to control giants.

Think of yourself as a brand. You need to be remembered. What will they remember you for? What defines you? If you have it in you, do something that defines you. Invent something, develop a unique skill, get noticed for something — it creates a talking point.

Be creative while inventing ideas, but be disciplined while implementing them.

To see something as either black or white is easy. To see the entirety in something that has blending colors takes time. To see something that’s not there, takes one who is a visionary.

Getting fired from work gives you the zeal to make your own inventions

Poverty is the mother of invention

Each of us has the ability to create

Each of us has the ability to invent

There probably was a time when the idea of having a toilet inside a house was repulsive.

Be the initiator of things you wish to see, but can’t see. Be the originator of things you wish you feel but can’t feel.

If I had any hand in it at all there’s a chance that it might be beautiful, but it simply cannot not be majestic.

Bridges take people across rivers. Leaders take people across ignorance. With a leader, the destination of a journey is sure.

Reality is not enough for us, that’s why we have invented art to create different realities!

I like to reinvent myself — it’s part of my job.

Thinking outside of the box keeps you from suffocating inside of one.

There are enough real enemies and threats in the world without having to invent imaginary ones.

You were created, fashioned and designed in a special form to leave in the world something that did not exist before you were born!

Clocks were invented to warn us. Tick (time is passing). Tock (time has passed).

Not only should we encourage kids to daydream, but also to jump-in and build those dreams. Dreaming is largely lost among adults drowning in self-imposed realities.

To give herself a measure of credible autonomy, she had decided to invent a husband. Then, in a subsequent flash of inspiration, she had just as quickly killed him off.

We want life to make sense. If we don’t find meaning and orientation, we are bound to fabulate a living and invent an inspiring life story. When we write out a chosen script, we’ll have to make time to hunker down into attuning it to the hitches of the road map, time and again, with fractious patience. ( "Everybody his story" )

Men are under as strong a compulsion to invent an ethical setting for their behavior as spiders are to weave themselves webs.

Go wherever the narrow way passes. If possible, go wherever there seems to be no way and create a way.

When you come across an excellent invention, what it should tell you is that someone used most of his sleeping time as his thinking time... and he kept doing the same until his good became better and his better became the best!

Flawless and faultless outcomes are not products of lawless and careless people. No lawless person is a genuine innovator. To your skillfulness, add good manners; to your willfulness, add carefulness!

The reason why nothing happens is because nothing was done. Something will happen when something is done. Leaders take actions!

Never despise the talents you have. It is by them that you will do something that has not yet come into existence until you were born.

Being different will always threaten the institution of understanding of a closed mind. However, evolution is built on difference, changing and the concept of thinking outside the box. Live to be your own unique brand, without apology.

You were saved not by work, but for work. Do it till all is done. By your Inventions, Innovations, Initiatives, Improvements, Involvements, Imaginations, Information, Interventions and Inspirations... Go the extra mile and dare to do it.

Don’t say you don’t have enough time or enough money to change the world. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Gandhi, Michelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci and Jesus Christ.

​Till mirrors were Invented, Face was not You, Not Even part of Your Performance.

Heresy would like to think of itself as 'invented Truth'. But of course, all Reason and Logic would agree that no man can ever create Truth; he can only discover it. If heresy were ever at all beneficial, God would use it really to bring one right back to Truth, as countless 'inventions' have brought men to discovery.

The book is like the spoon, scissors, the hammer,the wheel. Once invented it cannot be improved. You cannot make a spoonthat is better than a spoon

I wonder if the highlighter was highlight of the career for the person who invented it?

Never fear what people will say... Never think you can't do it because it was never done before! You can be the source of change that is suspending for quiet a long period now! You too can fly!

What will make you great today will never make you great tomorrow! The airplane that Wilbur and Orville Wright invented in 1906 would be seen as a scrap today. It becomes valueless with time.

The characters who go to make up my stories and novels are not portraits. Characters I invent along with the story that carries them. Attached to them are what I've borrowed, perhaps unconsciously, bit by bit, of persons I have seen or noticed or remembered in the flesh - a cast of countenance here, a manner of walking there, that jumps to the visualizing mind when a story is under way. I don't write by invasion into the life of a real person: my own sense of privacy is too strong for that; and I also know instinctively that living people to whom you are close - those known to you in ways too deep, too overflowing, ever to be plumbed outside love - do not yield to, could never fit into, the demands of a story. Characters take on life sometimes by luck, but I suspect it is when you can write most entirely out of yourself, that a character becomes in its own right another human being on the page.

Inventors do not invent for financial gain, they invent simply because they love to invent
