As a young man, I was very interested in how people lived in earlier times how they got from place to place, lighted their homes, cooked their meals and so on. So I went to the history books. Well, I could find out all about kings and presidents but I could learn nothing of their everyday lives. So I decided that history is bunk.

We want to get full value out of labour so that we may be able to pay it full value. It is use - not conservation - that interests us.

I don’t know much about history, and I wouldn’t give a nickel for all the history in the world. It means nothing to me. History is more or less bunk. It's tradition. We don't want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker's damn is the history we make today.
