Most certainly, some planets are not inhabited, but others are, and among these there must exist life under all conditions and phases of development.
Nikola Tesla
Image
What we now want is closer contact and better understanding between individuals and communities all over the earth, and the elimination of egoism and pride which is always prone to plunge the world into primeval barbarism and strife... Peace can only come as a natural consequence of universal enlightenment.
Nikola Tesla
Image
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
Image
I have always been ahead of my time.
Nikola Tesla
Image
I do not think you can name many great inventions that have been made by married men.
Nikola Tesla
Image
Perhaps I failed, but I did my best, These masters of mine may do the rest.
Nikola Tesla
Image
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

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
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
Marconi is a good fellow. Let him continue. He is using seventeen of my patents.
Nikola Tesla
Image
Though we may never be able to comprehend human life, we know certainly that it is a movement, of whatever nature it be. The existence of movement unavoidably implies a body which is being moved and a force which is moving it. Hence, wherever there is life, there is a mass moved by a force. All mass possesses inertia all force tends to persist
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
The individual is ephemeral, races and nations come and pass away, but man remains.
Nikola Tesla
Image
The progressive development of man is vitally dependent on invention.
Nikola Tesla
Image
A new idea must not be judged by its immediate results.
Nikola Tesla
Image
But I hope that it will also be demonstrated soon that in my experiments in the West I was not merely beholding a vision, but had caught sight of a great and profound truth.
Nikola Tesla
Image
To conquer by sheer force is becoming harder and harder every day. Defensive is getting continuously the advantage of offensive, as we progress in the satanic science of destruction.
Nikola Tesla
Image
Be alone, that is the secret of invention be alone, that is when ideas are born.
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

Fights between individuals, as well as governments and nations, invariably result from misunderstandings in the broadest interpretation of this term.
