The doctor of the future will give no medication, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, diet and in the cause and prevention of disease. ~

Tomas Edison 442 quotes

Even though I am nearly deaf,...

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.

I never did a day's work in my life, it was all fun.

Tomas Edison 442 quotes

The very first thing an executive must have is a fine memory. Of course it does not follow that a man with a fine memory is necessarily a fine executive. But if he has the memory he has the first qualification, and if he has not the memory nothing else matters.

Tomas Edison 442 quotes

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

Tomas Edison 442 quotes

When there's no experimenting there's no progress. Stop experimenting and you go backward. If anything goes wrong, experiment until you get to the very bottom of the trouble.

Tomas Edison 442 quotes

The injurious agent in cigare...

The injurious agent in cigarettes comes principally from the burning paper wrapper. The substance thereby formed is called "acrolein." It has a violent action on the nerve centers, producing degeneration of the cells of the brain, which is quite rapid among boys. Unlike most narcotics, this degeneration is permanent and uncontrollable. I employ no person who smokes cigarettes.

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.

Tomas Edison 442 quotes

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.

Tomas Edison 442 quotes

I have never seen the slightest scientific proof of the religious ideas of heaven and hell, of future life for individuals, or of a personal God.

Tomas Edison 442 quotes

We shall have no better conditions in the future if we are satisfied with all those which we have at present.

I'd put my money on the sun and solar energy. What a source of power! I hope we don't have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that.

Tomas Edison 442 quotes

Unfortunately, there seems to be far more opportunity out there than ability.... We should remember that good fortune often happens when opportunity meets with preparation.

A good idea is never lost. Even though its originator or possessor may die, it will someday be reborn in the mind of another.

Tomas Edison 442 quotes

The beauty of a great idea lies in the art of using it.

Tomas Edison 442 quotes

I have better use for my brain than to poison it with alcohol. To put alcohol in the human brain is like putting sand in the bearings of an engine.

I am 67, but I'm not too old to make a fresh start.

Tomas Edison 442 quotes

I am more of a sponge than an...

I am more of a sponge than an inventor. I absorb ideas from every source. I take half-matured schemes for mechanical development and make them practical. I am a sort of a middleman between the long-haired and impractical inventor and the hard-headed business man who measures all things in terms of dollars and cents. My principal business is giving commercial value to the brilliant but misdirected ideas of others.

Tomas Edison 442 quotes

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.

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.
