Thomas Edison Quotes

I make more mistakes than anyone else I know, and sooner or later, I patent most of them Picture Quote #1

I have far more respect for the person with a single idea who gets there than for the person with a thousand ideas who does nothing Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Never be discouraged, because every wrong turn attempt, when left behind you, is another step forward taking you closer to your goals Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I was always afraid of things that worked the first time. Long experience proved that there were great drawbacks found generally before they could be got commercial; but here was something there was no doubt of Picture Quote #1

I am so deaf I am debarred from hearing all the time articulation and have to depend on the judgment of others Picture Quote #1

Not only will atomic power be released, but someday we will harness the rise and fall of the tides and imprison the rays of the sun Picture Quote #1

I have been at work for some time building an apparatus to see if it is possible for personalities which have left this earth to communicate with us Picture Quote #1

Nobody knows whether our personalities pass on to another existence or sphere, but if we can evolve an instrument so delicate to be manipulated by our personality as it survives in the next life such an instrument ought to record something Picture Quote #1

I believe that the motion picture is destined to revolutionize our educational system and that in a few years it will supplant largely, if not entirely, the use of textbooks Picture Quote #1

Fooling around with alternating currents is just a waste of time. Nobody will use it, ever. It’s too dangerous... it could kill a man as quick as a bolt of lightning. Direct current is safe Picture Quote #1

Most of the exercise I get is from standing and walking around laboratory tables all day. I derive more benefit and entertainment from this than some of my friends and competitors get from playing games like golf Picture Quote #1

Barring serious accidents, if you are not preoccupied with worry and you work hard, you can look forward to a reasonably lengthy existence... Its not the hard work that kills, its the worrying that kills Picture Quote #1

The only time I really become discouraged is when I think of all the things I would like to do and the little time I have in which to do them Picture Quote #1

From his neck down a man is worth a couple of dollars a day, from his neck up he is worth anything that his brain can produce Picture Quote #1

Even though I am nearly deaf, I seem to be gifted with a kind of inner hearing which enables me to detect sounds and noises which the ordinary person does not hear Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

To me, the idea and expectation that the day is slowly and surely coming when we will be able to honestly say we are our brother’s keeper and not his oppressor is very beautiful Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I would construct and work along various lines until I found them untenable. When one theory was discarded, I developed another at once. I realized very early that this was the only possible way for me to work out all the problems Picture Quote #1

The brain can be developed just the same as the muscles can be developed, if on will only take the pains to train the mind to think Picture Quote #1

The great trouble is that the preachers get the children from six to seven years of age and then it is almost impossible to do anything with them Picture Quote #1

Radio is just a fashion contrivance that will soon die out. It is obvious that there never will be invented a proper receiver! Picture Quote #1

Genius? Nothing! Sticking to it is the genius!... I’ve failed my way to success Picture Quote #1

What is a college? An institute of learning. What is a business? An institute of learning. Life, itself, is an institute of learning Picture Quote #1

My success is due more to my ability to work continuously on one thing without stopping than to any other single quality Picture Quote #1

Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing Picture Quote #1

There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever Picture Quote #1

Failure is really a matter of conceit. People don’t work hard because, in their conceit, they imagine they’ll succeed without ever making an effort. Most people believe that they’ll wake up some day and find themselves rich. Actually, they’ve got it half right, because eventually they do wake up Picture Quote #1
