Thomas A. Edison
Radio is just a fashion contrivance that will soon die out. It is obvious that there never will be invented a proper receiver!
Thomas A. Edison
None of my inventions came by accident. I see a worthwhile need to be met and I make trial after trial until it comes. What it boils down to is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration.
Thomas A. Edison
The best thinking has been done in solitude. The worst has been done in turmoil.
Thomas A. Edison
