Grace Hopper

Don't just sit there. Do something.

The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own.

I'm not interested in the past. I'm interested in the future.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

I'm not a visionary. I'm just a practical person.

The computer is a tool, not a god.

It's not about what you know, it's about what you do with what you know.

Innovation is a very difficult thing to do.

The most important thing is to keep learning.

The only way to find out what you can do is to try.

The only phrase I've ever heard that I dislike is 'Happy Hour.'

We're all born with a certain amount of 'gumption.' The trick is to keep it.

The greatest danger for us is not to try.

I didn't like the word 'bug.' I thought it was a terrible word. I thought it was a very unscientific word.

I often say that I'm a professional troublemaker. I'm always looking for new ways to do things.

We had to get the machines to do what we wanted them to do, not what they were built to do.

If you want to do something, do it. Don't wait for permission.

We don't have to do things the way they've always been done.

I don't believe in 'can't'.

The future belongs to those who can see it.
