"Genius? Nothing! Sticking to it is the..." - Quote by Thomas Edison

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

“Genius is not inspired. Inspiration is perspiration.”

“The great trouble is that the preachers get the children from six to seven years of age and then it is almost impossible to do anything with them.”

“Don't dissipate your powers; strive to concentrate them. Genius thinks it can do whatever it sees others doing, but it will surely repent of every ill-judged outlay.”

“Accept your genius and say what you think.”

“The art of land warfare is an art of genius, of inspiration. On the sea nothing is genius or inspiration; everything is positive or empiric.”

“Constant dropping wears away stones”

“You continue to change your approach until you achieve what you want using whatever life gives you along the way.”

“Don't let the incidents which take place in life bring you low. And certainly don't whine. You can be brought low, that's OK, but don't be reduced by them. Just say, 'That's life.'”
