"Many of life's failures are people who..." - Quote by Thomas Edison

“I am both pleased but astonished by the fact that mankind has not yet begun to use all the means and devices that are available for destruction. I hope that such weapons are never manufactured in quantity.”

“The beauty of a great idea lies in the art of using it.”

“We will make electricity so cheap that only the rich will burn candles.”

“There is no failure except the failure of trying.”

“Failure is a detour, not a dead-end street.”

“The credit of success is claimed by all, while a disaster is attributed to one alone.”

“The Master said, The case is like that of someone raising a mound. If he stops working, the fact that it perhaps needed only one more basketful makes no difference; I stay where I am. Whereas even if he has not got beyond leveling the ground, but is still at work, the fact that he has only tilted one basketful of earth makes no difference. I go to help him.”

“You have two choices: You can come down from the mountain and spend the rest of your days thinking it was so beautiful there, or you can create a vision, look upward, see the next mountain, and start the climb all over again.”

“Perseverance... keeps honor bright: to have done, is to hang quite out of fashion, like a rusty nail in monumental mockery.”
