Thomas Edison


"If we did the things we are capable of, we would astound ourselves.""Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration.""Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.""Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it's useless.""Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.""I have friends in overalls whose friendship I would not swap for the favor of the kings of the world.""I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.""The first requisite for success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem incessantly without growing weary.""Opportunity is missed by most because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.""The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are: Hard work, Stick-to-itiveness, and Common sense."
