Image
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
Image
We may produce at will, from a sending station. an electrical effect in any particular region of the globe we may determine the relative position or course of a moving object, such as a vessel at sea, the distance traversed by the same, or its speed.
Nikola Tesla
Image
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
Every living being is an engine geared to the wheel-work of the universe.
Nikola Tesla
Image
The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.
Nikola Tesla
Image
Fights between individuals, as well as governments and nations, invariably result from misunderstandings in the broadest interpretation of this term.
Nikola Tesla
Image
I am credited with being one of the hardest workers and perhaps I am, if thought is the equivalent of labour, for I have devoted to it almost all of my waking hours. But if work is interpreted to be a definite performance in a specified time according to a rigid rule, then I may be the worst of idlers.

Great moments are born great opportunity.

Image
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
Image
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
Image
Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more.
Nikola Tesla
Image
Alternate currents, especially of high frequencies, pass with astonishing freedom through even slightly rarefied gases. The upper strata of the air are rarefied. To reach a number of miles out into space requires the overcoming of difficulties of a merely mechanical nature.

Image
Within a few years a simple and inexpensive device, readily carried about, will enable one to receive on land or sea the principal news, to hear a speech, a lecture, a song or play of a musical instrument, conveyed from any other region of the globe.

With a different form of wireless instrument devised by me some years ago it was found practicable to locate a body of metallic ore below the ground, and it seems that a submarine could be similarly detected.

Image
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.

All peoples everywhere should have free energy sources.
Nikola Tesla
Image
Ere many generations pass, our machinery will be driven by a power obtainable at any point of the universe.
Nikola Tesla
Image
When wireless is fully applied the earth will be converted into a huge brain, capable of response in every one of its parts.
Nikola Tesla
Image
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.

The idea of atomic energy is illusionary but it has taken so powerful a hold on the minds, that although I have preached against it for twenty-five years, there are still some who believe it to be realizable.
