More quotes by Thomas A. Edison
There is great value in disaster. All our mistakes are burned up. Thank God we can start a new.
Thomas A. Edison
I never did anything worth doing entirely by accident. . . Almost none of my inventions came about totally by accident. They were achieved by having trained myself to endure and tolerate hard work.
Thomas A. Edison
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.
Thomas A. Edison
Perhaps dandruff is the excreta of the mind the quantity of this material being directly proportional to the amount of reading one indulges in. A book on German metaphysics would thus easily ruin a dress suit.
Thomas A. Edison
I did not fail two thousand times. I merely found two thousand ways not to make a lightbulb.
Thomas A. Edison
The trouble with most people is that they quit before they start.
Thomas A. Edison
People are not remembered by how few times they fail, but by how often they succeed. Every wrong step is another step forward
Thomas A. Edison
We will make electricity so cheap that only the rich will burn candles.
Thomas A. Edison
I think that Ingersoll had all the attributes of a perfect man, and, in my opinion, no finer personality ever existed. Judging from the past, I cannot help thinking that the intention of the Supreme Intelligence that rules the world is to ultimately make such a type of man universal.
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
If I could solve all the problems myself, I would.
Thomas A. Edison
A man’s best friend is a good wife.
Thomas A. Edison
Friendship is the heaven of life.
Thomas A. Edison
Invention is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration.
Thomas A. Edison
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
I have not failed 10,000 times. I have succeeded in proving that those 10,000 ways will not work.
Thomas A. Edison
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.
Thomas A. Edison
The doctor of the future will no longer treat the human frame with drugs, but rather will cure and prevent disease with nutrition.
Thomas A. Edison
I am quite correctly described as 'more of a sponge than an inventor....'
Thomas A. Edison
Fooling around with alternating currents is just a waste of time. Nobody will use it, ever. It's too dangerous . . . it could kill a man as quick as a bolt of lightning. Direct current is safe.
Thomas A. Edison
