More quotes by Thomas A. Edison
Absorb ideas from every source.
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
Negative results are just what I want. They’re just as valuable to me as positive results. I can never find the thing that does the job best until I find the ones that don’t.
Thomas A. Edison
I am a vegetarian as well as a passionate anti-alcoholic, because I can thus make better use of my brain.
Thomas A. Edison
Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits.
Thomas A. Edison

Thomas A. Edison

Thomas A. Edison

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
None of my inventions came by accident. I see a worthwhile need to be met and I make trial after trial until it comes. What it boils down to is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration.
Thomas A. Edison
I've realized that most of my best ideas have followed a good night's sleep.
Thomas A. Edison
I am quite correctly described as 'more of a sponge than an inventor....'
Thomas A. Edison
The first requisite for success is to develop the ability to focus.
Thomas A. Edison
The radio craze will die out in time.
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
The chief function of the body is to carry the brain around.
Thomas A. Edison
