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
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
Each day we go to our work in the hope of discovering.
Nikola Tesla
It is paradoxical, yet true, to say, that the more we know, the more ignorant we become in the absolute sense, for it is only through enlightenment that we become conscious of our limitations. Precisely one of the most gratifying results of intellectual evolution is the continuous opening up of new and greater prospects.
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 individual is ephemeral, races and nations come and pass away, but man remains.
Nikola Tesla
The progressive development of man [has as its] ultimate purpose the complete mastery of mind over the material world.
Nikola Tesla
The Buddhist expresses it in one way, the Christian in another, but both say the same: We are all one.
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
Great moments are born great opportunity.
Nikola Tesla
It seems that I have always been ahead of my time. I had to wait nineteen years before Niagara was harnessed by my system, fifteen years before the basic inventions for wireless which I gave to the world in 1893 were applied universally.
Nikola Tesla
Today's scientists have substituted mathematics for experiments, and they wander off through equation after equation, and eventually build a structure which has no relation to reality.
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
The human being is a self-propelled automaton entirely under the control of external influences. Willful and predetermined though they appear, his actions are governed not from within, but from without. He is like a float tossed about by the waves of a turbulent sea.
Nikola Tesla
Fights between individuals, as well as governments and nations, invariably result from misunderstandings in the broadest interpretation of this term.
Nikola Tesla
What we now want is closer contact and better understanding between individuals and communities all over the earth, and the elimination of egoism and pride which is always prone to plunge the world into primeval barbarism and strife... Peace can only come as a natural consequence of universal enlightenment.
Nikola Tesla
All matter comes from a primary substance, the luminiferous ether
Nikola Tesla
Of all things I liked books best.
Nikola Tesla
We all make mistakes, and it is better to make them before we begin.
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
