Nikola Tesla
The scientific man does not aim at an immediate result. He does not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up. His work is like that of the planter — for the future. His duty is to lay the foundation for those who are to come, and point the way. He lives and labors and hopes.
Nikola Tesla
Each day we go to our work in the hope of discovering.
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
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.
Nikola Tesla
Let the future tell the truth and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs the future, for which I really worked, is mine.
Nikola Tesla
I am equally proud of my Serbian origin and my Croatian fatherland.
Nikola Tesla
Love: I recognize the emotion for what it is, an irrational self-destructive impulse, which is disguised as joy.
Nikola Tesla
If you only knew the magnificence of the 3, 6 and 9, then you would have the key to the universe.
Nikola Tesla
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.
