Thomas A. Edison

Thomas A. Edison
Perhaps dandruff is the excreta of the mind the quantity of this material being directly proportional to the amount of reading one indulges in. A book on German metaphysics would thus easily ruin a dress suit.
Thomas A. Edison
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
Thomas A. Edison
