More quotes by Nikola Tesla

Image
The human being is a self-propelled automaton entirely under the control of external influences. Willful and predetermined though they appear, his actions are governed not from within, but from without. He is like a float tossed about by the waves of a turbulent sea.
Nikola Tesla
Image
So we find that the three possible solutions of the great problem of increasing human energy are answered by the three words: food, peace, work.
Nikola Tesla
Image
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 Buddhist expresses it in one way, the Christian in another, but both say the same: We are all one.
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
Image
The motors I build there were exactly as I imagined them. I made no attempt to improve the design, but merely reproduced the pictures as they appeared to my vision and the operation was always as I expected.

Nikola Tesla
Image
My mother understood human nature better and never chided. She knew that a man cannot be saved from his own foolishness or vice by someone else's efforts or protests, but only by the use of his own will.
Nikola Tesla

All peoples everywhere should have free energy sources.

Image
I do not think you can name many great inventions that have been made by married men.
Nikola Tesla
Image
From childhood I was compelled to concentrate attention upon myself. This caused me much suffering, but to my present view, it was a blessing in disguise for it has taught me to appreciate the inestimable value of introspection in the preservation of life, as well as a means of achievement.
Nikola Tesla
Image
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
Image
We all make mistakes, and it is better to make them before we begin.
Nikola Tesla
Image
Alternate currents, especially of high frequencies, pass with astonishing freedom through even slightly rarefied gases. The upper strata of the air are rarefied. To reach a number of miles out into space requires the overcoming of difficulties of a merely mechanical nature.
Nikola Tesla
Image
Our senses enable us to perceive only a minute portion of the outside world.
Nikola Tesla
Image
Man, like the universe, is a machine. Nothing enters our minds or determines our actions which is not directly or indirectly a response to stimuli beating upon our sense organs from without.
Nikola Tesla
Image
Most certainly, some planets are not inhabited, but others are, and among these there must exist life under all conditions and phases of development.

The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.
