More quotes by Thomas A. Edison
As a cure for worrying, work is far better than whiskey. I always found that, if I began to worry, the best thing I could do was focus upon doing something useful and then work very hard at it. Soon, I would forget what was troubling me.
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
I never did anything by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident they came by work.
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
Direct thought is not an attribute of feminity. In this, women are now centuries behind man.
Thomas A. Edison
Nearly every man who develops an idea works it up to the point where it looks impossible, and then he gets discouraged. That's not the place to become discouraged.
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 three things that are most essential to achievement are common sense, hard work and stick-to-it-iv-ness.
Thomas A. Edison
Nobody knows whether our personalities pass on to another existence or sphere, but if we can evolve an instrument so delicate to be manipulated by our personality as it survives in the next life such an instrument ought to record something.
Thomas A. Edison
Large portions of life's disappointments are individuals who did not understand that they were so near achievement when they surrendered.
Thomas A. Edison
Do the thing and the power will come.
Thomas A. Edison
One might think that the money value of an invention constitutes its reward to the man who loves his work. But... I continue to find my greatest pleasure, and so my reward, in the work that precedes what the world calls success.
Thomas A. Edison
I am so deaf I am debarred from hearing all the time articulation and have to depend on the judgment of others.
Thomas A. Edison
A diamond is a piece of coal that stuck to the job
Thomas A. Edison
Vision without execution is delusion.
Thomas A. Edison
Of all my inventions, I liked the phonograph best
Thomas A. Edison
The world owes nothing to any man, but every man owes something to the world.
Thomas A. Edison
Fish seem to be rather conservative around this bay, one seldom catches enough to form the fundamental basis for a lie. Dante left out one of the torments of Hades I could imagine a doomed mortal made to untangle wet fish lines forever. Everybody lost patience at the stupidity of the fish in not coming forward promptly to be murdered.
Thomas A. Edison
Until man duplicates a blade of grass, nature can laugh at his so-called scientific knowledge. Remedies from chemicals will never stand in favor compared with the products of nature, the living cell of the plant, the final result of the rays of the sun, the mother of all life.
Thomas A. Edison
I'll try anything...I'll even try Limburger cheese!
Thomas A. Edison
