"I can never pick up a thing..." - Quote by Thomas Edison

“A genius is a talented person who does his homework.”

“Education isn't play--and it can't be made to look like play. It is hard, hard work. But it can be made interesting work.”

“There is great value in disaster. All our mistakes are burned up. Thank God we can start a new.”

“I am always motivated. I am ambitious and I want to always improve.”

“The correctness of any of our policies has always to be tested and is always being tested by the masses themselves. We ourselves constantly examine our own decisions and policies. We correct our mistakes whenever we find them. We draw conclusions from all positive and negative experiences and apply those conclusions as widely as possible. In these ways relations between the Communist party and the masses of the people are constantly being improved.”

“I wrote some of the worst poetry west from the Mississippi River, but I wrote. And I finally sometimes got it right.”

“In every company, there is not only the active and passive sex, but, in both men and women, a deeper and more important sex of mind, namely, the inventive or creative class of both men and women, and the uninventive or accepting class.”

“The world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can't be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it.”

“The new statement is always hated by the old, and, to those dwelling in the old, comes like an abyss of skepticism.”
