Thomas A. Edison
The money one gets for selling one's soul is always spent in deadening one's conscience, so the net gain at the end of a lifetime is no greater than if the diabolic bargain had not been struck.
Thomas A. Edison
Tomorrow Is My Exam But I Don’t Care Because A Single Sheet Of Paper Can’t Decide My Future
Thomas A. Edison
Consider data without prejudice.
Thomas A. Edison
The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet and in the cause and prevention of disease. ~
Thomas A. Edison
To my mind the old masters are not art their value is in their scarcity.
Thomas A. Edison
Friendship is the heaven of life.
