More quotes by Thomas A. Edison
When you become quiet, it just dawns on you
Thomas A. Edison
I am both pleased but astonished by the fact that mankind has not yet begun to use all the means and devices that are available for destruction. I hope that such weapons are never manufactured in quantity.
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 consider Paine our greatest political thinker. As we have not advanced, and perhaps never shall advance, beyond the Declaration and Constitution, so Paine has had no successors who extended his principles.
Thomas A. Edison
I told [Kruesi] I was going to record talking, and then have the machine talk back. He thought it absurd. However, it was finished, the foil was put on I then shouted Mary had a little lamb, etc. I adjusted the reproducer, and the machine reproduced it perfectly. On first words spoken on a phonograph.
Thomas A. Edison
Genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration.
Thomas A. Edison
I owe my success to the fact that I never had a clock in my workroom.
Thomas A. Edison
A man’s best friend is a good wife.
Thomas A. Edison
Success is the result of hard work.
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
If I could solve all the problems myself, I would.
Thomas A. Edison
Work while others are wishing.
Thomas A. Edison
Negative results are just what I want. They’re just as valuable to me as positive results. I can never find the thing that does the job best until I find the ones that don’t.
Thomas A. Edison
To get a great idea, come up with lots of them.
Thomas A. Edison
The biggest failure of man is that he gives up before he realizes how close he was to success.
Thomas A. Edison
I never perfected an invention that I did not think about in terms of the service it might give others... I find out what the world needs, then I proceed to invent.
Thomas A. Edison
There is no subsitute for hard work.
Thomas A. Edison
Perhaps dandruff is the excreta of the mind the quantity of this material being directly proportional to the amount of reading one indulges in. A book on German metaphysics would thus easily ruin a dress suit.
Thomas A. Edison
I will not say I failed 1000 times, I will say that I discovered there are 1000 ways that can cause failure
Thomas A. Edison
I didn't fail 1000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1000 steps.
Thomas A. Edison
