Thomas A. Edison
We haven't failed. We now know a thousand things that won't work, so we are much closer to finding what will.
Thomas A. Edison
The value of a good idea is in using it.
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.
