More quotes by Thomas A. Edison
Direct thought is not an attribute of feminity. In this, women are now centuries behind man.
Thomas A. Edison
I start where the last man left off. What the mind of man can conceive and believe, the mind of a man can achieve.
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
Focus on how the end-user customers perceive the impact of your innovation - rather than on how you, the innovators, perceive it.
Thomas A. Edison

Thomas A. Edison
Being busy does not always mean real work.
Thomas A. Edison
I have always consistently opposed high-tension and alternating systems of electric lighting...not only on account of danger, but because of their general unreliability and unsuitability for any general system of distribution.
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
An average American loves his family. If he has any love left over for some other person, he generally selects Mark Twain.
Thomas A. Edison
Be courageous. I have seen many depressions in business. Always America has emerged from these stronger and more prosperous. Be brave as your fathers before you. Have faith! Go forward!
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
If I could solve all the problems myself, I would.
Thomas A. Edison
My success is due more to my ability to work continuously on one thing without stopping than to any other single quality.
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
