ideas being-positive
I have not failed. I have successfully discovered 1200 ideas that don't work.
country men hands
It is absurd to say that our country can issue $30,000,000 in bonds and not $30,000,000 in currency. Both are promises to pay; but one promise fattens the usurer (banker), and the other helps the people. If the currency issued by the Government were no good, then the bonds issued would be no good either. It is a terrible situation when the Government, to increase the national wealth, must go into debt and submit to ruinous interest charges at the hands of men who control the fictitious values of gold.
religious atheist if-there-is-a-god
I have never seen the slightest scientific proof of the religious theories of heaven and hell, of future life for individuals, or of a personal God.
light able next
Of the 200 light bulbs that didn't work, every failure told me something that I was able to incorporate into the next attempt.
disappointment achievement individual
Large portions of life's disappointments are individuals who did not understand that they were so near achievement when they surrendered.
sports giving-up men
The biggest failure of man is that he gives up before he realizes how close he was to success.
business inspiration perspiration
Success is 90% perspiration and 10% inspiration!
children lying school
Somewhere between the ages of eleven and fifteen, the average child begins to suffer from an atrophy, the paralysis of curiosity and the suspension of the power to observe. The trouble, I should judge, to lie with the schools.
fun thinking world
I think work is the world's greatest fun.
life birthday death
I am long on ideas, but short on time. I expect to live to be only about a hundred.
peace fear spring
There will one day spring from the brain of science a machine or force so fearful in its potentialities, so absolutely terrifying, that even man, the fighter, who will dare torture and death in order to inflict torture and death, will be appalled, and so abandon war forever.
sports waiting hustle
Everything comes to those who hustle while they wait.
kindness quality three
Nature is what we know. We do not know the gods of religions. And nature is not kind, or merciful, or loving. If God made me - the fabled God of the three qualities of which I spoke: mercy, kindness, love - He also made the fish I catch and eat. And where do His mercy, kindness, and love for that fish come in? No; nature made us - nature did it all - not the gods of the religions.
believe soul religion
I cannot believe in the immortality of the soul. No, all this talk of an existence for us, as individuals, beyond the grave is wrong. It is born of our tenacity of life - our desire to go on living - our dread of coming to an end.
