On Innovation

Posted: July 17th, 2011 | Author: | Filed under: culture, ideas, quotes | 3 Comments »

I invented nothing new. I simply assembled the discoveries of other men behind whom were centuries of work.

Had I worked fifty or ten or even five years before, I would have failed. So it is with every new thing. Progress happens when all the factors that make for it are ready and then it is inevitable.

To teach that a comparatively few men are responsible for the greatest forward steps of mankind is the worst sort of nonsense.

- Henry Ford
