More quotes by 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
Fools call wise men fools. A wise man never calls any man a fool.
Thomas A. Edison
I know this world is ruled by infinite intelligence. Everything that surrounds us- everything that exists - proves that there are infinite laws behind it. There can be no denying this fact. It is mathematical in its precision.
Thomas A. Edison
My success is due more to my ability to work continuously on one thing without stopping than to any other single quality.
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
Fooling around with alternating currents is just a waste of time. Nobody will use it, ever. It's too dangerous . . . it could kill a man as quick as a bolt of lightning. Direct current is safe.
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
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
The first requisite for success is to develop the ability to focus and apply your mental and physical energies to the problem at hand - without growing weary. Because such thinking is often difficult, there seems to be no limit to which some people will go to avoid the effort and labor that is associated with it.
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
There is no limit to which a man will not go to avoid thinking.
Thomas A. Edison
The only thing I use my body for is to carry my brain around.
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
I remember that I was never able to get along at school. I was at the foot of the class.
Thomas A. Edison
Great ideas originate in the muscles.
Thomas A. Edison
Accomplishing something provides the only real satisfaction in life.
Thomas A. Edison
I think that Ingersoll had all the attributes of a perfect man, and, in my opinion, no finer personality ever existed. Judging from the past, I cannot help thinking that the intention of the Supreme Intelligence that rules the world is to ultimately make such a type of man universal.
Thomas A. Edison
As Danand Ian over at the Lifestyle Business Podcast say: Rush to failure.
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
