My Mother had taught me to seek all truth in the Bible.
Nikola Tesla
Image
I do not think you can name many great inventions that have been made by married men.
Nikola Tesla
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more.
Nikola Tesla
Image
An inventor's endeavor is essentially lifesaving. Whether he harnesses forces, improves devices, or provides new comforts and conveniences, he is adding to the safety of our existence. He is also better qualified than the average individual to protect himself in peril, for he is observant and resourceful.
Nikola Tesla
Image
The individual is ephemeral, races and nations come and pass away, but man remains.
Nikola Tesla
Image
We crave for new sensations but soon become indifferent to them. The wonders of yesterday are today common occurrences
Nikola Tesla

Anti-social behavior is a trait of intelligence in a world full of conformists.
Nikola Tesla
Image
All peoples everywhere should have free energy sources.
Nikola Tesla
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Marconi is a good fellow. Let him continue. He is using seventeen of my patents.
Nikola Tesla
Image
I am equally proud of my Serbian origin and my Croatian fatherland.
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
Originality thrives in seclusion free of outside influences
Nikola Tesla
Image
Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point of the universe.
Nikola Tesla
Image
Universal peace as a result of cumulative effort through centuries past might come into existence quickly - not unlike a crystal that suddenly forms in a solution which has been slowly prepared. Science is but a perversion of itself unless it has as its ultimate goal the betterment of humanity.
Nikola Tesla
Image
Misunderstandings are always caused by the inability of appreciating one another's point of view... The best way is to dispel ignorance of the doings of others by a systematic spread of general knowledge. With this object in view, it is most important to aid exchange of thought and intercourse.
