More quotes by Nikola Tesla
It seems that I have always been ahead of my time. I had to wait nineteen years before Niagara was harnessed by my system, fifteen years before the basic inventions for wireless which I gave to the world in 1893 were applied universally.
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
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
Einstein's relativity work is a magnificent mathematical garb which fascinates, dazzles and makes people blind to the underlying errors. The theory is like a beggar clothed in purple whom ignorant people take for a king... its exponents are brilliant men but they are metaphysicists rather than scientists.
Nikola Tesla
This work somehow awakened my dormant powers of will and I began to practice self-control. At first my resolutions faded like snow in April, but in a little while I conquered my weakness and felt a pleasure I never knew before - that of doing as I willed.
Nikola Tesla
All matter comes from a primary substance, the luminiferous ether
Nikola Tesla
Every effort under compulsion demands a sacrifice of energy. I never paid such a price.
Nikola Tesla
I am equally proud of my Serbian origin and my Croatian fatherland.
Nikola Tesla
My Mother had taught me to seek all truth in the Bible.
Nikola Tesla
If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.
Nikola Tesla
Great moments are born great opportunity.
Nikola Tesla
So astounding are the facts in this connection, that it would seem as though the Creator, himself had electrically designed this planet.
Nikola Tesla
I am credited with being one of the hardest workers and perhaps I am, if thought is the equivalent of labour, for I have devoted to it almost all of my waking hours. But if work is interpreted to be a definite performance in a specified time according to a rigid rule, then I may be the worst of idlers.
Nikola Tesla
Anti-social behavior is a trait of intelligence in a world full of conformists.
Nikola Tesla
Of all the frictional resistances, the one that most retards human movement is ignorance.
Nikola Tesla
The scientific man does not aim at an immediate result. He does not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up. His work is like that of the planter — for the future. His duty is to lay the foundation for those who are to come, and point the way. He lives and labors and hopes.
Nikola Tesla
One day man will connect his apparatus to the very wheel work of the universe. The very forces that motivate the planets in their orbits and cause them to rotate will rotate his own machinery.
Nikola Tesla
Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point of the universe.
Nikola Tesla
We all make mistakes, and it is better to make them before we begin.
Nikola Tesla
Sometimes I feel that by not marrying, I made too great a sacrifice to my work.
Nikola Tesla
