"Until man duplicates a blade of grass,..." - Quote by Thomas Edison

“I didn't fail 1000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1000 steps.”

“The dove is my emblem.”

“As Danand Ian over at the Lifestyle Business Podcast say: Rush to failure.”

“Through the din and desultoriness of noon, even in the most Oriental city, is seen the fresh and primitive and savage nature, in which Scythians and Ethiopians and Indians dwell. What is echo, what are light and shade, day and night, ocean and stars, earthquake and eclipse, there? The works of man are everywhere swallowed up in the immensity of nature. The AEgean Sea is but Lake Huron still to the Indian.”

“Nature hates calculators.”

“That devilish Iron Horse, whose ear-rending neigh is heard throughout the town, has muddied the Boiling Spring with his foot, and he it is that has browsed off all the woods on Walden shore, that Trojan horse, with a thousand men in his belly, introduced by mercenary Greeks! Where is the country's champion, the Moore of Moore Hall, to meet him at the Deep Cut and thrust an avenging lance between the ribs of the bloated pest?”

“First study the science, and then practice the art which is born of that science.”

“The unlimited capacity of the plant world to sustain man at his highest is a region as yet unexplored by modern science.”

“I never thought that others would take my theories so much more seriously than I did.”
