The United States, and other advanced nations, will someday be able to produce instruments of death so terrible the world will be in abject terror of itself and its ability to end civilization.... Such war-making weapons should be developed - but only for purposes of discovery and experimentation
Thomas A. Edison

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
Thomas A. Edison
Failure is really a matter of conceit. People don't work hard because, in their conceit, they imagine they'll succeed without ever making an effort. Most people believe that they'll wake up some day and find themselves rich. Actually, they've got it half right, because eventually they do wake up.
Thomas A. Edison
The perils of overwork are slight compared with the dangers of inactivity.
Thomas A. Edison
The first requisite for success is to develop the ability to focus and apply your mental and physical energies to the problem at hand - without growing weary. Because such thinking is often difficult, there seems to be no limit to which some people will go to avoid the effort and labor that is associated with it.
Thomas A. Edison
There is no limit to which a man will not go to avoid thinking.
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
Invention is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration
Thomas A. Edison
What is a college? An institute of learning. What is a business? An institute of learning. Life, itself, is an institute of learning.
Thomas A. Edison
There seems to be no limit to which some men will go to avoid the labor of thinking. Thinking is hard work.
Thomas A. Edison
When you have exhausted all possibilities, remember this - you haven't.
Thomas A. Edison
Inspiration can be found in a pile of junk. Sometimes, you can put it together with a good imagination and invent something.
Thomas A. Edison
