Thomas A. Edison quotes about
Having a vision for what you want is not enough...Vision without execution is hallucination
Never go to sleep without a request to your subconscious.
I never once failed at making a light bulb. I just found out 99 ways not to make one.
The successful person makes a habit of doing what the failing person doesn't like to do.
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
Work while others are wishing.
Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
The trouble with most people is that they quit before they start.
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
There seems to be no limit to which some men will go to avoid the labor of thinking. Thinking is hard work.
Interest is the invention of Satan.
If the Nation can issue a dollar bond it can issue a dollar bill. The element that makes the bond good makes the bill good also. The difference between the bond and the bill is that the bond lets the money broker collect twice the amount of the bond and an additional 20%. Whereas the currency, the honest sort provided by the Constitution pays nobody but those who contribute in some useful way. It is absurd to say our Country can issue bonds and cannot issue currency. Both are promises to pay, but one fattens the usurer and the other helps the People.
There cannot be overproduction of anything which men and women want. And their wants are unlimited, except by the size of their stomachs.
