I fear this little episode does not speak very favourably for my business capacity in those early days, for I certainly ought to have made much more than I did by this really important invention.

I would have had my patent long, long ago, and it would have run out long, long ago. I would have made, maybe, $100.000, much less that the patent has brought me now.

I'm an inventor. I became interested in long-term trends because an invention has to make sense in the world in which it is finished, not the world in which it is started.

Now Stan and I were still working in secret at that time but, because of this development, we had to inform the University of Utah because we thought that they might need to take patent protection.

You can always think that we're old and not innovative, but there is no company that can limp on for 139 years without being creative and having the genes to change.

I never did anything worth doing by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident; they came by work.

I designed and developed an unbelievable number of applications early in my life.

All my money was made doing the dates and selling products when I was out there on the road.

I was a fixer, a builder - an inventor - ever since I can remember.
