People who will not turn a shovel full of dirt on the project (Muscle Shoals Dam) nor contribute a pound of material, will collect more money from the United States than will the People who supply all the material and do all the work. This is the terrible thing about interest.
Thomas A. Edison
An average American loves his family. If he has any love left over for some other person, he generally selects Mark Twain.
Thomas A. Edison
Success depends on how many experiments you can fit into 24 hours
