More quotes by Thomas A. Edison
All bibles are man-made.
Thomas A. Edison
I do not believe any type of religion should ever be introduced into the public schools of the United States.
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
The perils of overwork are slight compared with the dangers of inactivity.
Thomas A. Edison
Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it's useless.
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
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
The inventor tries to meet the demand of a crazy civilization.
Thomas A. Edison
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
They say President Wilson has blundered. Perhaps he has, but I notice he usually blunders forward.
Thomas A. Edison
Inspiration can be found in a pile of junk. Sometimes, you can put it together with a good imagination and invent something.
Thomas A. Edison
An idea is something that won't work unless you do.
Thomas A. Edison
I am proud of the fact that I never invented weapons to kill.
Thomas A. Edison
Do the thing and the power will come.
Thomas A. Edison
Having a vision for what you want is not enough...Vision without execution is hallucination
Thomas A. Edison
A genius is a talented person who does his homework.
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
Results? Why, man, I have gotten lots of results! If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is often a step forward.
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
To those searching for truth -- not the truth of dogma and darkness but the truth brought by reason, search, examination, and inquiry, discipline is required. For faith, as well intentioned as it may be, must be built on facts, not fiction -- faith in fiction is a damnable false hope.
Thomas A. Edison
