More quotes by James Dyson
If you can't be unconventional, be obtuse. Be deliberately obtuse, because there are 5 billion people out there thinking in train tracks, and thinking what they have been taught to think.
James Dyson
Emerging markets are hugely important.
James Dyson
If you want to do something different, you’re going to come up against a lot of naysayers.
James Dyson
Nobody wants the expenditure of a lease on a factory which lasts 21 years. You can't plan 21 years ahead.
James Dyson
Manufacturing is more than just putting parts together. It's coming up with ideas, testing principles and perfecting the engineering, as well as final assembly.
James Dyson
[M]anufacturing, science and engineering are ... incredibly creative. I'd venture to say more so than creative advertising agencies and things that are known as the creative industries.
James Dyson

James Dyson
Britain's great strength is its innovative, design and engineering natural ability and we're not using it.
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.
James Dyson
You need a stubborn belief in an idea in order to see it realised.

James Dyson
I just want things to work properly.
James Dyson
Failure is an enigma. You worry about it, and it teaches you something.
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
Don't listen to experts.
James Dyson
Having a good idea is one thing, but persuading other people to buy it is quite another. Good inventors are polymaths: they think with their hands and their brains. They're experts in design, engineering and business.
James Dyson
The media thinks that you have to make science sexy and concentrate on themes such as rivalry and the human issues.
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.
James Dyson
Today, computers are almost second nature to most of us.
James Dyson
Enjoy failure and learn from it. You never learn from success.
James Dyson
