The U.S. is the biggest investor in research and development in the world. It has the best universities. Keeping them supplied with the best talent is essential.
Quote by -James Dyson
If you invent something, you're doing a creative act. It's like writing a novel or composing music. You put your heart and soul into it, and money. It's years of your life, it's your house remortgaged, huge emotional investment and financial investment.
Quote by -James Dyson
You don't get inspiration sitting at a drawing board or in front of your computer.
Quote by -James Dyson
I don't do something necessarily to make a big profit or because it's a logical business decision.
Quote by -James Dyson
We should learn to live more with our climate and rely less on electricity to alter our climate.
Quote by -James Dyson
I think if you have to pay for your education, you worry very seriously about you're going to do when you've got your degree.
Quote by -James Dyson
If you didn't have patents, no one would bother to spend money on research and development. But with patents, if someone has a good idea and a competitor can't copy it, then that competitor will have to think of their own way of doing it. So then, instead of just one innovator, you have two or three people trying to do something in a new way.
Quote by -James Dyson
When decisions on nuclear power stations and runways are delayed and the government dilly-dallies, people think they aren't important.
Quote by -James Dyson
Engineering is treated with disdain, on the whole. It's considered to be rather boring and irrelevant, yet neither of those is true.
Quote by -James Dyson
The way the world is going, it's technology driven. And it isn't just driven by the old super powers, it's driven by the far east and new emerging economies.
Quote by -James Dyson
I'm afraid I am tidy, and I have to be because the office is open plan and my glass office door is literally always open.
Quote by -James Dyson
At school, I enjoyed playing the bassoon. I was in the orchestra and played the melody when the other boys sang hymns at prayers time.
Quote by -James Dyson
People will make leaps of faith and get excited by your product if you just get it in front of them.
Quote by -James Dyson
I don't particularly follow the Bauhaus school of design, where you make everything into a black box - simplify it.
Quote by -James Dyson
We have to change our culture so you can create wealth from making things and don't just try to make money out of money.
Quote by -James Dyson
The computer dictates how you do something, whereas with a pencil you're totally free.
Quote by -James Dyson
What I often do is just think of a completely obtuse thing to do, almost the wrong thing to do. That often works because you start a different approach, something no one has tried.
Quote by -James Dyson
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.
Quote by -James Dyson
If you want to do something different, you're going to come up against a lot of naysayers.
Quote by -James Dyson
In the digital age of 'overnight' success stories such as Facebook, the hard slog is easily overlooked.
Quote by -James Dyson
It is an extreme perversion of capitalism if you can trade in something before you have even paid for it.
Quote by -James Dyson
Children want the challenge of difficult tasks - just look how much better they are than their parents on a computer.
Quote by -James Dyson
If robots are to clean our homes, they'll have to do it better than a person.
Quote by -James Dyson
Design and technology should be the subject where mathematical brainboxes and science whizzkids turn their bright ideas into useful products.
Quote by -James Dyson
When you say 'design,' everybody thinks of magazine pages. So it's an emotive word. Everybody thinks it's how something looks, whereas for me, design is pretty much everything.
Quote by -James Dyson
As an engineer I'm constantly spotting problems and plotting how to solve them.
Quote by -James Dyson
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.
Quote by -James Dyson
The one size fits all approach of standardized testing is convenient but lazy.
