Tomorrow Is My Exam But I Don’t Care Because A Single Sheet Of Paper Can’t Decide My Future
Thomas A. Edison
Failure is really a matter of conceit. People don't work hard because, in their conceit, they imagine they'll succeed without ever making an effort. Most people believe that they'll wake up some day and find themselves rich. Actually, they've got it half right, because eventually they do wake up.
Thomas A. Edison
My mother was the making of me.
Thomas A. Edison
Waste is worse than loss. The time is coming when every person who lays claim to ability will keep the question of waste before him constantly. The scope of thrift is limitless.
Thomas A. Edison

Thomas A. Edison
X-rays ... I am afraid of them. I stopped experimenting with them two years ago, when I came near to losing my eyesight and Dally, my assistant practically lost the use of both of his arms.
Thomas A. Edison
I never did anything worth doing entirely by accident. . . Almost none of my inventions came about totally by accident. They were achieved by having trained myself to endure and tolerate hard work.
Thomas A. Edison
I owe my success to the fact that I never had a clock in my workroom. Seventy-five of us worked twenty hours every day and slept only four hours - and thrived on it.
Thomas A. Edison
The endeavor to change universal power by selfish supplication I do not believe in.
Thomas A. Edison
The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will involve the patient in the proper use of food, fresh air and exercise
Thomas A. Edison
In 'Common Sense' Paine flared forth with a document so powerful that the Revolution became inevitable. Washington recognized the difference, and in his calm way said that matters never could be the same again.
Thomas A. Edison
Surprises and reverses can serve as an incentive for great accomplishment. There are no rules here, we're just trying to accomplish something.
Thomas A. Edison
I have not failed 10,000 times. I have succeeded in proving that those 10,000 ways will not work.
Thomas A. Edison
Sleep is like a drug. Take too much at a time and it makes you dopey. You lose time and opportunities.
Thomas A. Edison
