"My principal business is giving commercial value..." - Quote by Thomas Edison

“No Such Thing as Bad Results”

“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.”

“It is astonishing what an effort it seems to be for many people to put their brains definitely and systematically to work.”

“If you have a great manager, you want to pay him very well.”

“We must start now to provide additional stimulus to the modernization of American industrial plants I shall propose to the Congress a new tax incentive for businesses to expand their normal investment in plant and equipment.”

“When a company or an individual compromises one time, whether it's on price or principle, the next compromise is right around the corner.”

“If you can't communicate and talk to other people and get across your ideas, you're giving up your potential.”

“You grow ravenous. You run fevers. You know exhilarations. You can't sleep at night, because your beast-creature ideas want out and turn you in your bed. It is a grand way to live.”

“The fact is that one new idea leads to another, that to a third and so on through a course of time, until someone, with whom no one of these ideas was original, combines all together, and produces what is justly called a new invention.”
