More quotes by Nikola Tesla
Science is but a perversion of itself unless it has as its ultimate goal the betterment of humanity.
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
This work somehow awakened my dormant powers of will and I began to practice self-control. At first my resolutions faded like snow in April, but in a little while I conquered my weakness and felt a pleasure I never knew before - that of doing as I willed.
Nikola Tesla
Be alone, that is the secret of invention be alone, that is when ideas are born.
Nikola Tesla
I am trying to awake the energy contained in the air. These are the main sources of energy. What is considered as empty space is just a manifestation of matter that is not awakened.
Nikola Tesla
It has cost me years of thought to arrive at certain results, by many believed to be unattainable, for which there are now numerous claimants, and the number of these is rapidly increasing, like that of the colonels in the South after the war.
Nikola Tesla
We all make mistakes, and it is better to make them before we begin.
Nikola Tesla
The individual is ephemeral, races and nations come and pass away, but man remains.
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 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.
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
Like a flash of lightning and in an instant the truth was revealed. I drew with a stick on the sand the diagrams of my motor. A thousand secrets of nature which I might have stumbled upon accidentally I would have given for that one which I had wrestled from her against all odds and at the peril of my existence.
Nikola Tesla
I am even grateful to Einstein and others because through their erroneous theories they lead mankind away from that dangerous path I followed.
Nikola Tesla
Our entire biological system, the brain, and the Earth itself, work on the same frequencies.
Nikola Tesla
Universal peace as a result of cumulative effort through centuries past might come into existence quickly - not unlike a crystal that suddenly forms in a solution which has been slowly prepared. Science is but a perversion of itself unless it has as its ultimate goal the betterment of humanity.
Nikola Tesla
My ear barely caught signals coming in regular succession which could not have been produced on earth.
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.
Nikola Tesla
All that was great in the past was ridiculed, condemned, combated, suppressed — only to emerge all the more powerfully, all the more triumphantly from the struggle.
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
It will soon be possible to transmit wireless messages around the world so simply that any individual can carry and operate his own apparatus.
