"Success depends on how many experiments you..." - Quote by Thomas Edison

“The brain can be developed just the same as the musclescan be developed, if on will only take the pains to trainthe mind to think.”

“Invention is 10% inspiration and 90% perspiration.”

“The three things that are most essential to achievement are common sense, hard work and stick-to-it-iv-ness.”

“The force of his own merit makes his way-a gift that heaven gives for him.”

“A peacock that rests on his feathers is just another turkey.”

“There is no shortage of opportunity. There is only a shortage of those who will apply themselves to the basics that success requires.”

“I must keep on trying, just to keep the experiment going until I get tired of it all. Even if the last result is not necessarily the best, I stop when my interest in the problem wanes.”

“After we had conducted thousands of experiments on a certain project without solving the problem, one of my associates, after we had conducted the crowning experiment and it had proved a failure, expressed discouragement and disgust over our having failed to find out anything. I cheerily assured him that we had learned something. For we had learned for a certainty that the thing couldnt be done that way, and that we would have to try some other way.”

“Life is about trying things to see if they work.”
