Soichiro Honda

I am always thinking about mechanical things.

Dreams can come true, but they need persistence.

Engineering is not just about building machines; it's about improving lives.

Without challenge, there is no progress.

The future is created by those who dare to dream and act.

Quality is not an act; it is a habit.

I look at a stone and see a sculpture waiting to be made.

Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.

The automobile is a tool of freedom.

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.

Great engineering requires great passion.

Mistakes are proof that you are trying.

Technology should serve humanity, not the other way around.

A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, and hard work.

In the factory we make cosmetics; in the drugstore we sell hope.

Challenges are what make life interesting.

Engineering is the art of making what you want from things you can get.

Success usually comes to those who are too busy to be looking for it.

I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.

The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
