More quotes by Thomas A. Edison

Thomas A. Edison
My success is due more to my ability to work continuously on one thing without stopping than to any other single quality.
Thomas A. Edison

Thomas A. Edison
Fools call wise men fools. A wise man never calls any man a fool.
Thomas A. Edison
The three things that are most essential to achievement are common sense, hard work and stick-to-it-iv-ness.
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
When down in the mouth, remember Jonah. He came out all right.
Thomas A. Edison
The radio craze will die out in time.
Thomas A. Edison
As Danand Ian over at the Lifestyle Business Podcast say: Rush to failure.
Thomas A. Edison
The three great essentials to achieve anything worth while are: Hard work, Stick-to-itiveness, and Common sense.
Thomas A. Edison
Success is the product of the severest kind of mental and physical application.
Thomas A. Edison
