More quotes by James Dyson
I've obviously used fans - I wouldn't say all my life, because we couldn't afford them when I was young, but from my 20s and onwards we've had to use fans. And I've always loathed them. Everything about them. The way you adjust them, getting them at the angle you want. Carrying them. Cleaning them. The danger of putting your finger in them.
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.
James Dyson
Cordless vacuums are designed for quick jobs, but you need enough power to do the job you don't want the power waning over time.
James Dyson
Beauty can come in strange forms.
James Dyson
The important thing is to learn from mistakes - something graduates are adept at. Our graduate engineers are working on new technology - from uncharted applications for our digital motor, to a new take on the hand dryer. With an unhindered mind, nothing is off limits.
James Dyson
Today, computers are almost second nature to most of us.
James Dyson
I think the search engines are the new equivalent of publishing: an enabler of information.
James Dyson
Failure is an enigma. You worry about it, and it teaches you something.

James Dyson
The computer dictates how you do something, whereas with a pencil you're totally free.
James Dyson

James Dyson
Don't listen to experts.
James Dyson
You need a stubborn belief in an idea in order to see it realised.
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.
James Dyson
I was frustrated as a child when I had to use a vacuum. It had a screaming noise and the smell of stale dog and a lack of performance.
James Dyson
When decisions on nuclear power stations and runways are delayed and the government dilly-dallies, people think they aren't important.
James Dyson
Emerging markets are hugely important.
James Dyson
I just think things should work properly.
James Dyson
Designing aircraft and racing cars is an extremely exciting thing.
James Dyson
A lot of people give up when the world seems to be against them, but that's the point when you should push a little harder. I use the analogy of running a race. It seems as though you can’t carry on, but if you just get through the pain barrier, you'll see the end and be okay. Often, just around the corner is where the solution will happen.
