Invention is the most important product of man's creative brain. The ultimate purpose is the complete mastery of mind over the material world, the harnessing of human nature to human needs.

More quotes by Nikola Tesla
Let the future tell the truth and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs the future, for which I really worked, is mine.
Nikola Tesla
One of the great events in my life was my first meeting with Edison. This wonderful man, who had received no scientific training, yet had accomplished so much, filled me with amazement. I felt that the time I had spent studying languages, literature and art was wasted though later, of course, I learned this was not so.
Nikola Tesla
I am even grateful to Einstein and others because through their erroneous theories they lead mankind away from that dangerous path I followed.
Nikola Tesla
It will soon be possible to transmit wireless messages around the world so simply that any individual can carry and operate his own apparatus.
Nikola Tesla
We should begin at the very root from which we spring, we should effect a radical reform in the character of the food.
Nikola Tesla
The idea came like a flash of lightning and in an instant the truth was revealed.
Nikola Tesla
It is paradoxical, yet true, to say, that the more we know, the more ignorant we become in the absolute sense, for it is only through enlightenment that we become conscious of our limitations. Precisely one of the most gratifying results of intellectual evolution is the continuous opening up of new and greater prospects.
Nikola Tesla
Archimedes was my ideal. I admired the works of artists, but to my mind, they were only shadows and semblances. The inventor, I thought, gives to the world creations which are palpable, which live and work.
Nikola Tesla
The mind is sharper and keener in seclusion and uninterrupted solitude. Originality thrives in seclusion free of outside influences beating upon us to cripple the creative mind. Be alone-that is the secret of invention: be alone, that is when ideas are born.
Nikola Tesla
I am equally proud of my Serbian origin and my Croatian fatherland.
Nikola Tesla
Of all things I liked books best. My father had a large library and whenever I could manage I tried to satisfy my passion for reading.
Nikola Tesla
The Buddhist expresses it in one way, the Christian in another, but both say the same: We are all one.
Nikola Tesla
Anti-social behavior is a trait of intelligence in a world full of conformists.
Nikola Tesla
Fights between individuals, as well as governments and nations, invariably result from misunderstandings in the broadest interpretation of this term.
Nikola Tesla
Every effort under compulsion demands a sacrifice of energy. I never paid such a price.
Nikola Tesla
We build but to tear down. Most of our work and resource is squandered. Our onward march is marked by devastation. Everywhere there is an appalling loss of time, effort and life. A cheerless view, but true.
Nikola Tesla
Great moments are born great opportunity.
Nikola Tesla
Every living being is an engine geared to the wheelwork of the universe. Though seemingly affected only by its immediate surrounding, the sphere of external influence extends to infinite distance.
Nikola Tesla
We crave for new sensations but soon become indifferent to them. The wonders of yesterday are today common occurrences
Nikola Tesla
Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality.
Nikola Tesla
