Thomas A. Edison II

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.

Five percent of the people think; 
ten percent of the people think they think; 
and the other eighty-five percent would rather die than think.

We often miss opportunity because it's dressed in overalls and looks like work.

Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration.

The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are, first, hard work; second, stick-to-itiveness; third, common sense.

If we all did the things we are really capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves.

When you have exhausted all possibilities, remember this - you haven't.

Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages.

To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.
