Nothing can have value without being an object of utility.

The value of a thing sometimes lies not in what one attains with it, but in what one pays for it - what it costs us.

The value of an idea lies in the using of it.

If something has to be designed and invented, and you have to figure out how to ensure that the value of the thing you create is greater than the cost of the inputs, then that is probably my core skill.

I try to spend my time on areas that I think are important for the future, and where I think I can add value.

We do not place especial value on the possession of a virtue until we notice its total absence in our opponent.
