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.

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.

I don't care that they stole my idea . . I care that they don't have any of their own

Of all things I liked books best. My father had a large library and whenever I could manage I tried to satisfy my passion for reading.

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.

Of all the frictional resistances, the one that most retards human movement is ignorance, what Buddha called 'the greatest evil in the world.' The friction which results from ignorance ... can be reduced only by the spread of knowledge and the unification of the heterogeneous elements of humanity. No effort could be better spent.

One of the great events in my life was my first meeting with Edison. This wonderful man, who had received no scientific training, yet had accomplished so much, filled me with amazement. I felt that the time I had spent studying languages, literature and art was wasted though later, of course, I learned this was not so.

It will soon be possible to transmit wireless messages around the world so simply that any individual can carry and operate his own apparatus.

Love: I recognize the emotion for what it is, an irrational self-destructive impulse, which is disguised as joy.

I predict that very shortly the old-fashioned incandescent lamp, having a filament heated to brightness by the passage of electric current through it, will entirely disappear.

Sometimes I feel that by not marrying, I made too great a sacrifice to my work.

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

The individual is ephemeral, races and nations come and pass away, but man remains.

With ideas it is like with dizzy heights you climb: At first they cause you discomfort and you are anxious to get down, distrustful of your own powers but soon the remoteness of the turmoil of life and the inspiring influence of the altitude calm your blood your step gets firm and sure and you begin to look - for dizzier heights.

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.

I am even grateful to Einstein and others because through their erroneous theories they lead mankind away from that dangerous path I followed.

Our entire biological system, the brain, and the Earth itself, work on the same frequencies.

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.
