Our friends up north spend over five billion dollars on research and development and all they seem to do is copy Google and Apple. Steve Jobs

Of course we have to make a profit, but we have to make a profit over the long haul, not just the short term, and that means we must keep investing in research and development - it has run consistently about 6 percent of sales at Sony - and in service. Akio Morita
The irony here is this administration is spending more money on climate change research and development than any administration in all the rest of the industrialized world combined. Christine Todd Whitman
I want to increase our spending on research and development by 25%. That's something the U.S. does very well. That dynamism alongside a welfare state in the European community - that's the synthesis I want to achieve. José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero
All that this country can achieve depends on developing our nation as a high growth, vibrant economy.
