"The real measure of success is the..." - Quote by Thomas Edison

“Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.”

“Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.”

“Nature is truly wonderful. Only man is truly foul.”

“All human race would be wits. And millions miss, for one that hits.”

“You don't have to be very brilliant. You don't have to have such a wonderful education. You can be an outstanding success if you will only take what little you have, whether it's little or much, and start using it, putting it into operation, doing something about it, and doing something with it. And, of course, that calls for initiative.”

“I suppose if you could have only one thing, it would be that-energy. Without it, you haven't got a thing.”

“All life is an experiment.”

“In order to learn, you have to be free. You have to be free to experiment, free to try, free to make mistakes.”

“I can never stand still. I must explore and experiment. I am never satisfied with my work. I resent the limitations of my own imagination.”
