More quotes by Thomas A. Edison
Two per cent. is genius, and ninety-eight per cent. is hard work.
Thomas A. Edison
From his neck down a man is worth a couple of dollars a day, from his neck up he is worth anything that his brain can produce.
Thomas A. Edison
I never failed. It just didn't work 10,000 times.
Thomas A. Edison
Because I readily absorb ideas from every source - frequently starting where the last person left off - I never pick up an item without thinking of how I might improve it.
Thomas A. Edison
I was always afraid of things that worked the first time. Long experience proved that there were great drawbacks found generally before they could be got commercial but here was something there was no doubt of.
Thomas A. Edison
Fish seem to be rather conservative around this bay, one seldom catches enough to form the fundamental basis for a lie. Dante left out one of the torments of Hades I could imagine a doomed mortal made to untangle wet fish lines forever. Everybody lost patience at the stupidity of the fish in not coming forward promptly to be murdered.
Thomas A. Edison
There is great value in disaster. All our mistakes are burned up. Thank God we can start a new.
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
We are striking it big in the electric light, better than my vivid imagination first conceived. Where this thing is going to stop Lord only knows.
Thomas A. Edison
I have not failed 700 times. I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those 700 ways will not work. When I have eliminated the ways that will not work, I will find the way that will work.
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
They say President Wilson has blundered. Perhaps he has, but I notice he usually blunders forward.
Thomas A. Edison
The successful person makes a habit of doing what the failing person doesn't like to do.
Thomas A. Edison
To have a great idea, have a lot of them.
Thomas A. Edison
Be courageous. I have seen many depressions in business. Always America has emerged from these stronger and more prosperous. Be brave as your fathers before you. Have faith! Go forward!
Thomas A. Edison
Nearly every man who develops an idea works it up to the point where it looks impossible, and then he gets discouraged. That's not the place to become discouraged.
Thomas A. Edison
The greatest discoveries will be along spiritual lines. This is the field where miracles are going to happen. Spiritual power is the greatest underdeveloped power and has the greatest future.
Thomas A. Edison
There is time for everything.
Thomas A. Edison
Whatever the mind of man creates, should be controlled by man's character.
Thomas A. Edison
To my mind the old masters are not art their value is in their scarcity.
Thomas A. Edison
