More quotes by Nikola Tesla
An inventor's endeavor is essentially lifesaving. Whether he harnesses forces, improves devices, or provides new comforts and conveniences, he is adding to the safety of our existence. He is also better qualified than the average individual to protect himself in peril, for he is observant and resourceful.
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
The motors I build there were exactly as I imagined them. I made no attempt to improve the design, but merely reproduced the pictures as they appeared to my vision and the operation was always as I expected.
Nikola Tesla
Perhaps I failed, but I did my best, These masters of mine may do the rest.
Nikola Tesla

Nikola Tesla

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
Our entire biological system, the brain, and the Earth itself, work on the same frequencies.
Nikola Tesla
Love: I recognize the emotion for what it is, an irrational self-destructive impulse, which is disguised as joy.
Nikola Tesla
The progressive development of man is vitally dependent on invention.
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.
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
Originality thrives in seclusion free of outside influences
Nikola Tesla
Be alone, that is the secret of invention be alone, that is when ideas are born.
Nikola Tesla
My mother understood human nature better and never chided. She knew that a man cannot be saved from his own foolishness or vice by someone else's efforts or protests, but only by the use of his own will.
Nikola Tesla
All matter comes from a primary substance, the luminiferous ether
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.
