"I have not failed 700 times, (my assistants did). I have not failed once, (to steal instead of invent). I, (and my overpaid, leg-breaking thugs), have succeeded in proving that those 700 ways (of doing the legitimate, hard work of actual inventing), will not work. When I have eliminated the ways (of allowing fair competition that doesn't involve threats or bullying), that will not work , I will find the way ( to bribe, coerce, threaten, or outright vandalize property and destroy other legitimate inventors lives), that will work."
