bouquets inventor
Let the public throw bouquets to the inventors and in time we will all be happy.
simple men discovery
Through all the years of experimenting and research, I never once made a discovery. I start where the last man left off. All my work was deductive, and the results I achieved were those of invention pure and simple.
hard-work hard
There is no subsitute for hard work.
inspiring success business
I have not failed 10,000 times. I have succeeded in proving that those 10,000 ways will not work,
good-work damn damn-things
Nothing that's good works by itself, you've got to make the damn thing work.
loss government firsts
There is far more danger in public than in private monopoly, for when Government goes into business it can always shift its losses to the taxpayers. Government never makes ends meetand that is the first requisite of business.
men people desire
The inventor can't do it all, you've got to change people. We have an enormous capacity to invent super-machinery. But our desire to install the device is weak. Human inertia is the problem, not invention. Something in man makes him resist change.

character angel men
What a man's mind can create, man's character can control.
inspiration ninety-nine needs
None of my inventions came by accident. I see a worthwhile need to be met and I make trial after trial until it comes. What it boils down to is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration.
believe hard-work people
Failure is really a matter of conceit. People don't work hard because, in their conceit, they imagine they'll succeed without ever making an effort. Most people believe that they'll wake up some day and find themselves rich. Actually, they've got it half right, because eventually they do wake up.
