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.

In many ways ideas are more i...

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

Charles Kettering 157 quotes

A problem thoroughly understo...

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

Don't be afraid to stumble. A...

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

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.

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

We must look forward to the f...

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

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.

Action without intelligence i...

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

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.

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.

99 percent of success is built on failure.

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.

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.

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

Charles Kettering 157 quotes

Great steps in human progress...

Great steps in human progress are made by things that don't work the way philosophy thought they should. If things always worked the way they should, you could write the history of the world from now on. But they don't, and it is those deviations from the normal that make human progress.

Charles Kettering 157 quotes

Industry prospers when it off...

Industry prospers when it offers people articles which they want more than they want anything they now have. The fact is that people never buy what they need. They buy what they want.

Charles Kettering 157 quotes

Modern psychology teaches tha...

Modern psychology teaches that experience is not merely the best teacher, but the only possible teacher.. There is no war between theory and practice. The most valuable experience demands both, and the theory should supplement the practice and not precede it.

Charles Kettering 157 quotes

All human development, no mat...

All human development, no matter what form it takes, must be outside the rules; otherwise we would never have anything new.

A research problem is not solved by apparatus; it is solved in a man's head.
