John D. Rockefeller

6. “Nothing man has discovered or imagined is to be named with the steam engine. It has no fellow. Franklin capturing the lightning, Morse annihilating space with the telegraph, Bell transmitting speech through the air by the telephone, are not less mysterious – being more ethereal, perhaps in one sense they are even more so – still, the labor of the world performed by heating cold water places Watt and his steam engine in a class apart by itself.” Andrew Carnegie Invention, Technology, Progress, Industry, Innovation
11. “You need to save some mental, physical, and emotional resources for enhancing your product after you ship. A revolution is a triathlon, not a hundred-yard dash—it requires long-distance stamina and multiple skills such as creating, churning, and evangelizing.” Guy Kawasaki Perseverance, Success, Business, Innovation, Growth
16. “Many Android users aren't aware of some things that Android can already do, such as supporting the enforcement of companywide security policies, encrypting phone data, and providing e-mail and calendar widgets that update in real-time. Our job is to help people and businesses discover and use these features.” Guy Kawasaki Technology, Android, Security, Business, Innovation
30. “The two most important things about people on a revolutionary team are their ability and passion. Their educational level or work experience is meaningless – most of the engineers who did ground-breaking work of the Macintosh design didn’t even graduate from college.” Guy Kawasaki Innovation, Passion, Success, Ability, Knowledge
49. “Our Center would be nonpartisan; we would be as innovative as possible, not duplicating or competing with other organizations that were addressing issues successfully; we would not be afraid of possible failure if our goals were worthwhile; and we would operate always with a balanced budget.” Jimmy Carter Nonpartisan, Innovation, Failure, Goals, Budget
