"I am proud of the fact that..." - Quote by Thomas Edison

“Life's most soothing things are a child's goodnight and sweet music.”

“Genius? Nothing! Sticking to it is the genius! ...I've failed my way to success.”

“I never failed. It just didn't work 10,000 times.”

“I believe that the horrifying deterioration in the ethical conduct of people today stems from the mechanization and dehumanization of our lives. A disastrous by-product of the development of the scientific and technical mentality. We are guilty. Man grows cold faster than the planet he inhabits.”

“A categorical imperative would be one which represented an action as objectively necessary in itself, without reference to any other purpose.”

“Now, it is very necessary that we should not flinch from seeing what is vile and debasing. There is filth on the floor, and it must be scraped up with the muck rake; and there are times and places where this service is the most needed of all the services that can be performed. But the man who never does anything else, who never thinks or speaks or writes, save of his feats with the muck rake, speedily becomes, not a help but one of the most potent forces for evil.”

“There is nothing so likely to produce peace as to be well prepared to meet the enemy.”

“Everybody loves to talk about calmness and peace, whether in a family, national, or international context, but without inner peace how can we make real peace? World peace through hatred and force is impossible.”

“When you can whip any man in the world, you never know peace.”
