More quotes by Thomas A. Edison
Seeming to do is not doing.
Thomas A. Edison
I didn’t fail ten thousand times. I successfully eliminated, ten thousand times, materials and combinations which wouldn’t work.
Thomas A. Edison
If I could solve all the problems myself, I would.
Thomas A. Edison
We are like tenant farmers chopping down the fence around our house for fuel when we should be using Nature's inexhaustible sources of energy - sun, wind and tide. ... I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that.
Thomas A. Edison
The only time I really become discouraged is when I think of all the things I would like to do and the little time I have in which to do them.
Thomas A. Edison
As a cure for worrying, work is far better than whiskey. I always found that, if I began to worry, the best thing I could do was focus upon doing something useful and then work very hard at it. Soon, I would forget what was troubling me.
Thomas A. Edison
The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and prevent disease with nutrition.
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
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
A good idea is never lost. Even though its originator or possessor may die, it will someday be reborn in the mind of another.
Thomas A. Edison
My main purpose in life is to make enough money to create ever more inventions…. The dove is my emblem…. I want to save and advance human life, not destroy it…. I am proud of the fact that I have never invented weapons to kill….
Thomas A. Edison
Work while others are wishing.
Thomas A. Edison
I never did a day's work in my life, it was all fun.
Thomas A. Edison
To my mind the old masters are not art their value is in their scarcity.
Thomas A. Edison
If I had not had so much ambition and not tried to do so many things, I probably would have been happier, but less useful.
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
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
The memory of my mother will always be a blessing to me.
Thomas A. Edison
I never did anything worth doing by accident, nor did any of my inventions come indirectly through accident, except the phonograph. No, when I have, fully decided that a result is worth getting, I go about it, and make trial after trial, until it comes.
Thomas A. Edison
