More quotes by Thomas A. Edison
If there is a better solution... find it.
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
A lawsuit is the suicide of time.
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
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
One might think that the money value of an invention constitutes its reward to the man who loves his work. But... I continue to find my greatest pleasure, and so my reward, in the work that precedes what the world calls success.
Thomas A. Edison
I never did anything worth doing entirely by accident. . . Almost none of my inventions came about totally by accident. They were achieved by having trained myself to endure and tolerate hard work.
Thomas A. Edison

The three things that are most essential to achievement are common sense, hard work and stick-to-it-iv-ness.
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
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
The reason a lot of people do not recognize opportunity is because it usually goes around wearing overalls looking like hard work.
Thomas A. Edison
I was at the foot of my class.
Thomas A. Edison
The first requisite of success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem without growing weary.
Thomas A. Edison
Absorb ideas from every source.
Thomas A. Edison
Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration.
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
Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration. As a result, a genius is often a talented person who has simply done all of his homework.
Thomas A. Edison
There is no subsitute for hard work.
Thomas A. Edison
There is much more opportunity than there are people to see it.
Thomas A. Edison
