The one size fits all approach of standardized testing is convenient but lazy.

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.

You don't have to be religious to hear God, you just have to be willing, and there's a big difference between the two.

Don't be afraid of your own strength.

To a world sick with racism, get well soon.

I wasn't allowed to do commercials. I wasn't allowed to do TV series. I wasn't allowed to do soaps or basically anything that would mean I missed too much school.

... I think we grieve forever, but that goes for love too, fortunately for us all.

Children possess a remarkable amount of passion. They throw themselves completely, heart and soul, into everything.

The appetites will rule if the mind is vacant.
