Genius? Nothing! Sticking to it is the genius! Any other bright-minded fellow can accomplish just as much if he will stick like hell and remember nothing that's any good works by itself. You've got to make the damn thing work!...I failed my way to success.
Thomas A. Edison
Image
I never perfected an invention that I did not think about in terms of the service it might give others... I find out what the world needs, then I proceed to invent.

I did not fail two thousand times. I merely found two thousand ways not to make a lightbulb.
Thomas A. Edison
Image
I would construct and work along various lines until I found them untenable. When one theory was discarded, I developed another at once. I realized very early that this was the only possible way for me to work out all the problems.
Thomas A. Edison
Image
The first requisite for success is to develop the ability to focus and apply your mental and physical energies to the problem at hand - without growing weary. Because such thinking is often difficult, there seems to be no limit to which some people will go to avoid the effort and labor that is associated with it.

They say President Wilson has blundered. Perhaps he has, but I notice he usually blunders forward.
