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 owe my success to the fact that I never had a clock in my workroom.
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 know this world is ruled by Infinite Intelligence. It required Infinite Intelligence to create it and it requires Infinite Intelligence to keep it on its course ... It is mathematical in its precision.
Thomas A. Edison
When I have eliminated the ways that will not work, I will find the way that will work.
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
In 'Common Sense' Paine flared forth with a document so powerful that the Revolution became inevitable. Washington recognized the difference, and in his calm way said that matters never could be the same again.
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 believe that the science of chemistry alone almost proves the existence of an intelligent creator.
Thomas A. Edison

Thomas A. Edison
