More quotes by Thomas A. Edison
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
I cannot believe in the immortality of the soul. No, all this talk of an existence for us, as individuals, beyond the grave is wrong. It is born of our tenacity of life - our desire to go on living - our dread of coming to an end.
Thomas A. Edison

Thomas A. Edison
Youth doesn't take advice.
Thomas A. Edison
I never did anything worth doing by accident, nor did any of my inventions come indirectly through accident, except the phonograph. No, when I have, fully decided that a result is worth getting, I go about it, and make trial after trial, until it comes.
Thomas A. Edison
I was always afraid of things that worked the first time. Long experience proved that there were great drawbacks found generally before they could be got commercial but here was something there was no doubt of.
Thomas A. Edison
To my mind the old masters are not art their value is in their scarcity.
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 consider Paine our greatest political thinker. As we have not advanced, and perhaps never shall advance, beyond the Declaration and Constitution, so Paine has had no successors who extended his principles.
Thomas A. Edison
I will not say I failed 1000 times, I will say that I discovered there are 1000 ways that can cause failure
Thomas A. Edison
