In some cases, inventions prohibit innovation because we're so caught up in playing with the technology, we forget about the fact that it was supposed to be important.

Every once in a while, a new technology, an old problem, and a big idea turn into an innovation.

To me, innovations are the wheel, fire, language, movable type. There are not 3 million innovations; there are 3 million inventions.

Innovation is so hard and so frustrating; it takes the intersections of people with courage, vision, and resources.

Americans thinking that America will continue to lead the world in innovation and quality of life without some quick and serious educational improvements are dangerously delusional.

I think an education is not only important, it is the most important thing you can do with your life.
