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
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
Our senses enable us to perceive only a minute portion of the outside world.
Nikola Tesla
Our entire biological system, the brain, and the Earth itself, work on the same frequencies.
Nikola Tesla
There is something within me that might be illusion as it is often case with young delighted people, but if I would be fortunate to achieve some of my ideals, it would be on the behalf of the whole of humanity. If those hopes would become fulfilled, the most exciting thought would be that it is a deed of a Serb.
Nikola Tesla
The practical success of an idea, irrespective of its inherent merit, is dependent on the attitude of the contemporaries. If timely it is quickly adopted if not, it is apt to fare like a sprout lured out of the ground by warm sunshine, only to be injured and retarded in its growth by the succeeding frost.
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
In a time not distant, it will be possible to flash any image formed in thought on a screen and render it visible at any place desired. The perfection of this means of reading thought will create a revolution for the better in all our social relations.
Nikola Tesla
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
I am equally proud of my Serbian origin and my Croatian fatherland.
Nikola Tesla
Of all the frictional resistances, the one that most retards human movement is ignorance.
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
Woman will ignore precedent and startle civilization with their progress.
Nikola Tesla
Perhaps I failed, but I did my best, These masters of mine may do the rest.
Nikola Tesla
My brain is only a receiver, in the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know that it exists.
Nikola Tesla
Anti-social behavior is a trait of intelligence in a world full of conformists.
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
For ages this idea has been proclaimed in the consummately wise teachings of religion, probably not alone as a means of insuring peace and harmony among men, but as a deeply founded truth. The Buddhist expresses it in one way, the Christian in another, but both say the same: We are all one.
Nikola Tesla
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.
