More quotes by Nikola Tesla
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
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
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
We all make mistakes, and it is better to make them before we begin.
Nikola Tesla
With a different form of wireless instrument devised by me some years ago it was found practicable to locate a body of metallic ore below the ground, and it seems that a submarine could be similarly detected.
Nikola Tesla
All that was great in the past was ridiculed, condemned, combated, suppressed — only to emerge all the more powerfully, all the more triumphantly from the struggle.
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
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
Love: I recognize the emotion for what it is, an irrational self-destructive impulse, which is disguised as joy.
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
The progressive development of man [has as its] ultimate purpose the complete mastery of mind over the material world.
Nikola Tesla
If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.
Nikola Tesla
Inventors don't have time for married life.
Nikola Tesla
I am trying to awake the energy contained in the air. These are the main sources of energy. What is considered as empty space is just a manifestation of matter that is not awakened.
Nikola Tesla
We crave for new sensations but soon become indifferent to them. The wonders of yesterday are today common occurrences
Nikola Tesla
Woman will ignore precedent and startle civilization with their progress.
Nikola Tesla
We may produce at will, from a sending station. an electrical effect in any particular region of the globe we may determine the relative position or course of a moving object, such as a vessel at sea, the distance traversed by the same, or its speed.
Nikola Tesla
I have always been ahead of my time.
Nikola Tesla
Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point of the universe.
Nikola Tesla
It has cost me years of thought to arrive at certain results, by many believed to be unattainable, for which there are now numerous claimants, and the number of these is rapidly increasing, like that of the colonels in the South after the war.
