Some Edison quotes (for the hell of it):
"Non-violence leads to the highest ethics, which is the goal of all evolution. Until we stop harming all other living beings, we are still savages."
"Religion is all bunk."
"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."
"We don't know a millionth of one percent about anything."
"Faith, as well intentioned as it may be, must be built on facts, not fiction--faith in fiction is a damnable false hope."
"If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward."
"All Bibles are man-made."
"Someday, man will harness the rise and fall of the tides, imprison the power of the sun, and release atomic power."
"The results I achieved were the consequence of invention - pure and simple. I would construct and work along various lines until I found them untenable. When one theory was discarded, I developed another at once. I realized very early that this was the only possible way for me to work out all the problems."
