"Results? Why, man, I have gotten lots..." - Quote by Thomas Edison

“A reporter called on Edison to interview him about a substitute for lead in the manufacture of storage batteries that the scientist was seeking. Edison informed the man that he had made 20,000 experiments but none had worked. "Aren't you discouraged by all this waste of effort?" the reporter asked. Edison: "Waste! There's nothing wasted. I have discovered 20,000 things that won't work."”

“To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk.”

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

“We hear the words we have spoken, feel our own blow as we give it, or read in the bystander's eyes the success or failure of our conduct.”

“The difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to...failure.”

“The biggest failure of man is that he gives up before he realizes how close he was to success.”

“Perseverance is neither praiseworthy nor blameworthy; for it seems to be only the enduring of certain inclinations and opinions which men neither give themselves nor take away from themselves.”

“You cannot fail unless you quit.”

“Carve a tunnel of hope through the dark mountain of disappointment.”
