Failures, repeated failures, ...

Failures, repeated failures, are sign-posts on the road to achievement. The only time you don't want to fail is the last time you try something (and it works).

This problem, too, will look simple after it is solved.

Charles Kettering 157 quotes

I am not interested in the pa...

I am not interested in the past. I am interested in the future, for that is where I expect to spend the rest of my life.

Charles Kettering 157 quotes

Every great improvement has c...

Every great improvement has come after repeated failures. Virtually nothing comes out right the first time. Failures, repeated failures, are finger posts on the road to achievement. One fails forward toward success.

99 percent of success is built on failure.

Charles Kettering 157 quotes

The future can be anything we...

The future can be anything we want it to be, providing we have the faith and that we realize that peace, no less than war, required blood and sweat and tears.

Charles Kettering 157 quotes

We suffer not from overproduc...

We suffer not from overproduction but from undercirculation. You have heard of technocracy. I wish I had those fellows for my competitors. I'd like to take the automobile it is said they predicted could be made now that would last fifty years. Even if never used, this automobile would not be worth anything except to a junkman in ten years, because of the changes in men's tastes and ideas. This desire for change is an inherent quality in human nature, so that the present generation must not try to crystallize the needs of the future ones.

Action without intelligence is a form of insanity, but intelligence without action is the greatest form of stupidity in the world.

Charles Kettering 157 quotes

You are always too late with ...

You are always too late with a development if you are so slow that people demand it before you yourself recognize it. The research department should have foreseen what was necessary and had it ready to a point where people never knew they wanted it until it was made available to them.

Charles Kettering 157 quotes

We must look forward to the future as that is where most of us will be spending the rest of our lives.

Charles Kettering 157 quotes

I don't want men of experienc...

I don't want men of experience working for me. The experienced man is always telling me why something can't be done. The fellow who has not had any experience is so dumb he doesn't know a thing can't be done - and he goes ahead and does it.

Charles Kettering 157 quotes

I expect to spend the rest of...

I expect to spend the rest of my life in the future, so I want to be reasonably sure of what kind of future it's going to be. That is my reason for planning.

Don't be afraid to stumble. Any inventor will tell you that you don't follow a plan far before you strike a snag. If, out of 100 ideas you get one that works, it's enough.

Charles Kettering 157 quotes

A problem thoroughly understood is always fairly simple. Found your opinions on facts, not prejudices. We know too many things that are not true.

Charles Kettering 157 quotes

In many ways ideas are more important than people - they are much more permanent.

You can send a message around the world in one-fifth of a second, yet it may take years for it to get from the outside of a man's head to the inside.

Charles Kettering 157 quotes

I could do nothing without my problems; they toughen my mind. In fact, I tell my assistants not to bring me their successes for they weaken me, but rather to bring me their problems, for they strengthen me.

It is the 'follow through' that makes the great difference between ultimate success and failure, because it is so easy to stop.

Charles Kettering 157 quotes

My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there.

You will never stub your toe standing still. The faster you go, the more chance there is of stubbing your toe, but the more chance you have of getting somewhere.
