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.

More quotes by Nikola Tesla
The individual is ephemeral, races and nations come and pass away, but man remains.
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
Great moments are born great opportunity.
Nikola Tesla
I have always been ahead of my time.
Nikola Tesla
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.
Nikola Tesla
The Buddhist expresses it in one way, the Christian in another, but both say the same: We are all one.
Nikola Tesla
Woman will ignore precedent and startle civilization with their progress.
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
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
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
One day man will connect his apparatus to the very wheel work of the universe. The very forces that motivate the planets in their orbits and cause them to rotate will rotate his own machinery.
Nikola Tesla
Anti-social behavior is a trait of intelligence in a world full of conformists.
Nikola Tesla
You may live to see man-made horrors beyond your comprehension.
Nikola Tesla
So astounding are the facts in this connection, that it would seem as though the Creator, himself had electrically designed this planet.
Nikola Tesla
Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point of the universe.
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 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 idea came like a flash of lightning and in an instant the truth was revealed.
Nikola Tesla
A new idea must not be judged by its immediate results.
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.
