Thomas A. Edison
I never did a day's work in my life, it was all fun.
Thomas A. Edison
I did not fail two thousand times. I merely found two thousand ways not to make a lightbulb.
Thomas A. Edison
Waste is worse than loss. The time is coming when every person who lays claim to ability will keep the question of waste before him constantly. The scope of thrift is limitless.
Thomas A. Edison
If I could solve all the problems myself, I would.
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
To those searching for truth -- not the truth of dogma and darkness but the truth brought by reason, search, examination, and inquiry, discipline is required. For faith, as well intentioned as it may be, must be built on facts, not fiction -- faith in fiction is a damnable false hope.
Thomas A. Edison
The successful person makes a habit of doing what the failing person doesn't like to do.
Thomas A. Edison
