Sleep is like a drug. Take too much at a time and it makes you dopey. You lose time and opportunities.

I never failed. It just didn't work 10,000 times.

Tomas Edison 442 quotes

Any large extension of the Government into business affairs - no matter what the pretense and no matter how the the extension is labeled - will be bound to promote waste and put a curb on our prosperity and progress.

Be brave as your fathers before you. Have faith and go forward.

I try not to invent things that people don't need.

There is a better way to do it - Find it!

I have always consistently opposed high-tension and alternating systems of electric lighting...not only on account of danger, but because of their general unreliability and unsuitability for any general system of distribution.

Tomas Edison 442 quotes

I would rather have one man with enthusiasm working with me than ten who are complacent.

Tomas Edison 442 quotes

The three things that are most essential to achievement are common sense, hard work and stick-to-it-iv-ness... Unfortunately, many of life's failures are experienced by people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. 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.

Tomas Edison 442 quotes

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.

A good intention, with a bad approach, often leads to a poor result.

I am much less interested in what is called God's word than in God's deeds. All bibles are man-made.

Tomas Edison 442 quotes

We are striking it big in the electric light, better than my vivid imagination first conceived. Where this thing is going to stop Lord only knows.

Tomas Edison 442 quotes

None of my inventions came by accident. I see a worthwhile need to be met and I make trial after trial until it comes. What it boils down to is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration.

Tomas Edison 442 quotes

Nineteen hundred and three will bring great advances in surgery, in the study of bacteria, in the knowledge of the cause and prevention of disease. Medicine is played out. Every new discovery of bacteria shows us all the more convincingly that we have been wrong and that the million tons of stuff we have taken was all useless.

Tomas Edison 442 quotes

Many a person who could not comprehend Rousseau, and would be puzzled by Montesquieu, could understand Paine as an open book. He wrote with a clarity, a sharpness of outline and exactness of speech that even a schoolboy should be able to grasp.

Tomas Edison 442 quotes

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.

Tomas Edison 442 quotes

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.

The dove is my emblem.
