Designing aircraft and racing cars is an extremely exciting thing.

I made 5,127 prototypes of my vaccum before I got it right. There were 5,126 failures. But I learned from each one. That’s how I came up with a solution. So I don’t mind failure.

What I've learned from running is that the time to push hard is when you're hurting like crazy and you want to give up. Success is often just around the corner.

Enjoy failure and learn from it. You never learn from success.

Everyone gets knocked back, no one rises smoothly to the top without hindrance. The ones who succeed are those who say, right, let’s give it another go.

Successes teach you nothing. Failures teach you everything. Making mistakes is the most important thing you can do.

Everyone has ideas. They may be too busy or lack the confidence or technical ability to carry them out. But I want to carry them out. It is a matter of getting up and doing it.

In order to fix it, you need a passionate anger about something that doesn't work well.

Engineering undergraduates should not be charged fees. They should receive grants, not student loans, and the government will get the money back long-term from increased exports.

If you want to do something different, you’re going to come up against a lot of naysayers.

Children want the challenge of difficult tasks - just look how much better they are than their parents on a computer.

We are all resigned to death: it's life we aren't resigned to.

Thank God for the journey of life.

I do not preach doubtingly, for I do not live doubtingly.

The fact is that people are good, Give people affection and security, and they will give affection and be secure in their feelings and their behavior.

We are all quick to point out all the differences but not as willing to accept what bonds us as humans.

We inspire friendship in men when we have contracted friendship with the gods.

... the time will come when no servant will be hired without a diploma from some training school, and a girl will as much expect to fit herself for house-maid or cook, as for dressmaker or any trade.

The way to reason with a predator is to make it aware that it can live in a cage, or it can die, but it can no longer prey upon us.

Most of my short stories are fantasy.

MY INSPIRATION FOR THIS LIMITED EDITION DESIGN WAS BASED ON THE LEGACY OF HENNESSY AS A BRAND. TO ME, HENNESSY HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT QUALITY, AUTHENTICITY, TRADITION, AND ELEGANCE.
