Thomas A. Edison

The memory of my mother will always be a blessing to me.

There is a better way for everything. Find it.

I have not failed 700 times. I have not failed once. I have succeeded in proving that those 700 ways will not work. When I have eliminated the ways that will not work, I will find the way that will work.

Vision without execution is delusion.

Work while others are wishing.

Nature is truly wonderful. Only man is truly foul.

It is very beautiful over there. (last words)

I find out what the world needs. Then I go ahead and try to invent it

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.
