More quotes by Thomas A. Edison

Thomas A. Edison
To have a great idea, have a lot of them.
Thomas A. Edison
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
Thomas A. Edison
Never Say I Failed 99 Times, Say I Discovered 99 Ways Which Causes Failure!
Thomas A. Edison
Seeming to do is not doing.
Thomas A. Edison
I consider Paine our greatest political thinker. As we have not advanced, and perhaps never shall advance, beyond the Declaration and Constitution, so Paine has had no successors who extended his principles.
Thomas A. Edison
Smoking too much makes me nervous. Must lasso my natural tendency to acquire such habits. Holding heavy cigar constantly in my mouth has deformed my upper lip, it has a sort of Havana curl.
Thomas A. Edison
Until man duplicates a blade of grass, nature can laugh at his so called scientific knowledge.
Thomas A. Edison
There is always a better way.
Thomas A. Edison
