Thomas A. Edison
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
If I could solve all the problems myself, I would.
Thomas A. Edison
Mr. Edison worked endlessly on a problem, using the method of elimination. If a person asked him if he were discouraged because so many attempts proved unavailing, he would say, No, I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward..
Thomas A. Edison
