More quotes by Thomas A. Edison

Thomas A. Edison
The biggest failure of man is that he gives up before he realizes how close he was to success.

I never did anything by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident they came by work.
Thomas A. Edison
Until man duplicates a blade of grass, nature can laugh at his so-called scientific knowledge. Remedies from chemicals will never stand in favor compared with the products of nature, the living cell of the plant, the final result of the rays of the sun, the mother of all life.
Thomas A. Edison
Show me a completely contented person and I'll show you a failure.
Thomas A. Edison

Thomas A. Edison
If there is a better solution... find it.
Thomas A. Edison
Two per cent. is genius, and ninety-eight per cent. is hard work.
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
The first requisite of success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem without growing weary.
Thomas A. Edison
I'll try anything...I'll even try Limburger cheese!
Thomas A. Edison
It is apparent to me that the possibilities of the aeroplane, which two or three years ago were thought to hold the solution to the [flying machine] problem, have been exhausted, and that we must turn elsewhere.
Thomas A. Edison
Do the thing and the power will come.
Thomas A. Edison
