Never Say I Failed 99 Times, Say I Discovered 99 Ways Which Causes Failure!
Thomas A. Edison
I cannot believe in the immortality of the soul. No, all this talk of an existence for us, as individuals, beyond the grave is wrong. It is born of our tenacity of life - our desire to go on living - our dread of coming to an end.
Thomas A. Edison
I have not failed 700 times. I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those 700 ways will not work. When I have eliminated the ways that will not work, I will find the way that will work.
Thomas A. Edison
I make more mistakes than anyone else I know, and sooner or later, I patent most of them.
