"Everything comes to those who hustle while..." - Quote by Thomas Edison

“No, I haven't failed thousands of times. On the contrary, I have successfully eliminated thousands of ideas that do not work!”

“The man who doesn’t make up his mind to cultivate the habit of thinking misses the greatest pleasure in life.”

“Results? Why, man, I have gotten lots of results! If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is often a step forward.”

“The successful person makes a habit of doing what the failing person doesn't like to do.”

“Wearing down seven number two pencils is a good day's work.”

“Understand the difference between being at work and working.”

“Let me remind you of the old maxim: people under suspicion are better moving than at rest, since at rest they may be sitting in the balance without knowing it, being weighed together with their sins.”

“You may regret calamities if you can thereby help the sufferer, but if you cannot, mind your own business.”

“Look not back. No, not even if you see the dearest and nearest cry. Look not back, but forward. We cannot stop. If we stop we die. We have either to go forward or to go backward. We have either to progress or to degenerate.”
