People who will not turn a shovel full of dirt on the project (Muscle Shoals Dam) nor contribute a pound of material, will collect more money from the United States than will the People who supply all the material and do all the work. This is the terrible thing about interest.
Thomas A. Edison

Thomas A. Edison
A lawsuit is the suicide of time.
Thomas A. Edison

The value of an idea lies in the using of it.
Thomas A. Edison
We haven't failed. We now know a thousand things that won't work, so we are much closer to finding what will.
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
