"There is always a better way...." - Quote by Thomas Edison

“My main purpose in life is to make money so I can afford to go on creating more inventions.”

“Everyone steals in commerce and industry. I've stolen a lot, myself. But I know how to steal! They don't know how to steal!”

“Results! Why, man, I have gotten a lot of results. I know several thousand things that won't work.”

“Never imitate the eccentricities of genius, but toil after it in its truer flights. They are not so easy to follow, but they lead to higher regions.”

“I want to take Justin Bieber for a month and just lock him up in a cage where we sit and make music. He's one of the most successful people in the world, but his music could be so much tighter.”

“I'm not the perfectionist anymore. It's my staff. They're the ones always insisting on doing something better and better.”

“She would say, "Someone should invent something to do with things you cannot use anymore but that you still cannot throw out.”

“(Talking about his first computer) Like all kids we not only fooled around with our toys, we changed them. If you've ever watched a child with a cardboard carton and a box of crayons create a spaceship with cool control panels, or listened to their improvised rules, such as "Red cars can jump all others," then you know that this impulse to make a toy do more is at the heart of innovative childhood play. It is also the essence of creativity.”

“The hardest thing [for me] is to 'just' agree, and that is what sparks creativity, the feeling that something can be better, the feeling that something's missing, the feeling that something's needed.”
