"I didn’t fail ten thousand times.I successfully..." - Quote by Thomas Edison

“Accomplishing something provides the only real satisfaction in life.”

“A lawsuit is the suicide of time.”

“I did not fail two thousand times. I merely found two thousand ways not to make a lightbulb.”

“I've often felt there might be more to be gained by studying business failures than business successes.”

“Most people fail in life because they major in minor things.”

“Mankind has failed miserably in its effort to devise a rational system of government. [...] The art of government is the exclusive possession of quacks and frauds. It has been so since the earliest days, and it will probably remain so until the end of time.”

“People who soar are those who refuse to sit back, sigh and wish things would change. They neither complain of their lot nor passively dream of some distant ship coming in. Rather, they visualize in their minds that they are not quitters; they will not allow life's circumstances to push them down and hold them under.”

“The healthiest competition occurs when average people win by putting above average effort.”

“Any fool can fight a winning battle, but it needs character to fight a losing one, and that should inspire us; which reminds me that I dreamed the other night that I was being hanged, but was the life and soul of the party.”
