More quotes by Thomas A. Edison
I've realized that most of my best ideas have followed a good night's sleep.
Thomas A. Edison
Consider data without prejudice.
Thomas A. Edison
Keep on the lookout for novel ideas that others have used successfully. Your idea has to be original only in its adaptation to the problem you're working on.
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
A genius is a talented person who does his homework.
Thomas A. Edison
I didn’t fail ten thousand times. I successfully eliminated, ten thousand times, materials and combinations which wouldn’t work.
Thomas A. Edison

Thomas A. Edison

Thomas A. Edison
I am so deaf I am debarred from hearing all the time articulation and have to depend on the judgment of others.
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
I am quite correctly described as 'more of a sponge than an inventor....'
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 start where the last man left off. What the mind of man can conceive and believe, the mind of a man can achieve.
Thomas A. Edison
Of the 200 light bulbs that didn't work, every failure told me something that I was able to incorporate into the next attempt.
Thomas A. Edison
Inspiration can be found in a pile of junk. Sometimes, you can put it together with a good imagination and invent something.
Thomas A. Edison
Never Say I Failed 99 Times, Say I Discovered 99 Ways Which Causes Failure!
Thomas A. Edison
