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.

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.
Nikola Tesla

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
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

We should begin at the very root from which we spring, we should effect a radical reform in the character of the food.

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.

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.

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.

If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.
Nikola Tesla
Image
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
Image
The idea of atomic energy is illusionary but it has taken so powerful a hold on the minds, that although I have preached against it for twenty-five years, there are still some who believe it to be realizable.
Nikola Tesla
Image
In past ages, the law governing the survival of the fittest roughly weeded out the less desirable strains. Then man's new sense of pity began to interfere with the ruthless workings of nature. As a result, we continue to keep alive and to breed the unfit.

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

All matter comes from a primary substance, the luminiferous ether

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

Be alone, that is the secret of invention be alone, that is when ideas are born.

Woman will ignore precedent and startle civilization with their progress.

I can now state that I have succeeded in operating a motive device by means of [cosmic rays]. I will tell you in the most general way, the cosmic ray ionizes the air, setting free many charges - ions and electrons. These charges are captured in a condenser which is made to discharge through the circuit of the motor.

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.
