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
Being busy does not always mean real work.
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
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
A failure teaches you that something can't be done-that way.
Thomas A. Edison
Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. As a result, a genius is often a talented person who has simply done all of his homework.
Thomas A. Edison
To have a great idea, have a lot of them.
Thomas A. Edison
