More quotes by Nikola Tesla
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.
Nikola Tesla
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
Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more.
Nikola Tesla
I am equally proud of my Serbian origin and my Croatian fatherland.
Nikola Tesla
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
Perhaps I failed, but I did my best, These masters of mine may do the rest.
Nikola Tesla
Anti-social behavior is a trait of intelligence in a world full of conformists.
Nikola Tesla
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.
Nikola Tesla
The mind is sharper and keener in seclusion and uninterrupted solitude. Originality thrives in seclusion free of outside influences beating upon us to cripple the creative mind. Be alone-that is the secret of invention: be alone, that is when ideas are born.
Nikola Tesla
I do not think you can name many great inventions that have been made by married men.
Nikola Tesla
A new idea must not be judged by its immediate results.
Nikola Tesla
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.
Nikola Tesla
Electric power is everywhere present in unlimited quantities and can drive the world's machinery without the need of coal, oil, gas, or any other of the common fuels.
Nikola Tesla
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.
Nikola Tesla
Science is but a perversion of itself unless it has as its ultimate goal the betterment of humanity.
Nikola Tesla
Our senses enable us to perceive only a minute portion of the outside world.
Nikola Tesla
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
My ear barely caught signals coming in regular succession which could not have been produced on earth.
Nikola Tesla
Be alone, that is the secret of invention be alone, that is when ideas are born.
Nikola Tesla
Invention is the most important product of man's creative brain. The ultimate purpose is the complete mastery of mind over the material world, the harnessing of human nature to human needs.
Nikola Tesla
