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.

All matter comes from a primary substance, the luminiferous ether
Nikola Tesla

Every effort under compulsion demands a sacrifice of energy. I never paid such a price.
Nikola Tesla
Image
Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more.
Nikola Tesla
Image
Our senses enable us to perceive only a minute portion of the outside world.

Inventors don't have time for married life.

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
Image
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

I am even grateful to Einstein and others because through their erroneous theories they lead mankind away from that dangerous path I followed.

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.

You may live to see man-made horrors beyond your comprehension.

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
Image
Science is but a perversion of itself unless it has as its ultimate goal the betterment of humanity.
Nikola Tesla
Image
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
Image
So astounding are the facts in this connection, that it would seem as though the Creator, himself had electrically designed this planet.
Nikola Tesla
Image
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

My Mother had taught me to seek all truth in the Bible.
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.

We crave for new sensations but soon become indifferent to them. The wonders of yesterday are today common occurrences
Nikola Tesla
Image
To conquer by sheer force is becoming harder and harder every day. Defensive is getting continuously the advantage of offensive, as we progress in the satanic science of destruction.
Nikola Tesla

Though we may never be able to comprehend human life, we know certainly that it is a movement, of whatever nature it be. The existence of movement unavoidably implies a body which is being moved and a force which is moving it. Hence, wherever there is life, there is a mass moved by a force. All mass possesses inertia all force tends to persist
