Thomas A. Edison
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 foundations and individual donors whose priorities don't align with my organization's.
Thomas A. Edison
As a cure for worrying, work is far better than whiskey. I always found that, if I began to worry, the best thing I could do was focus upon doing something useful and then work very hard at it. Soon, I would forget what was troubling me.
Thomas A. Edison
For faith, as well intentioned as it may be, must be built on facts, not fiction - faith in fiction is a damnable false hope.
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
The strength of the Constitution, lies in the will of the people to defend it.
Thomas A. Edison
Nobody knows whether our personalities pass on to another existence or sphere, but if we can evolve an instrument so delicate to be manipulated by our personality as it survives in the next life such an instrument ought to record something.
Thomas A. Edison

Thomas A. Edison
I told [Kruesi] I was going to record talking, and then have the machine talk back. He thought it absurd. However, it was finished, the foil was put on I then shouted Mary had a little lamb, etc. I adjusted the reproducer, and the machine reproduced it perfectly. On first words spoken on a phonograph.
