Inspirational Quotations

A list of inspirational quotations from Edison and Einstein. I just picked some of the quotations which make sense or I would say "understandable" to me...

Enjoy.

-Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. (Thomas Alva Edison)

-Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-nine percent perspiration. (Thomas Alva Edison)

-Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits. (Thomas Alva Edison)

-I am much less interested in what is called God's word than in God's deeds. All bibles are man-made. (Thomas Alva Edison)

-Restlessness is discontent — and discontent is the first necessity of progress. Show me a thoroughly satisfied man — and I will show you a failure. (Thomas Alva Edison)

-I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. (Thomas Alva Edison)

-If we did all the things we are capable of doing, we would literally astound ourselves. (Thomas Alva Edison)

-Hell, there are no rules here — we're trying to accomplish something. (Thomas Alva Edison)

-Just because something doesn't do what you planned it to do doesn't mean it's useless. (Thomas Alva Edison)

-I am enough of an artist to draw freely upon my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world. (Albert Einstein)

-I never think of the future. It comes soon enough. (Albert Einstein)

-Falling in love is not at all the most stupid thing that people do — but gravitation cannot be held responsible for it. (Albert Einstein)

-Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. The mediocre mind is incapable of understanding the man who refuses to bow blindly to conventional prejudices and chooses instead to express his opinions courageously and honestly. (Albert Einstein)

-The important thing is not to stop questioning; curiosity has its own reason for existing. (Albert Einstein)


*If a genius is made up of 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration, then I'm not. I'm a man that made up of 100% perspiration :D.
