That little bit of creativity that, if they were never to invent something, would make them seem a little bit… off. But history seems to forgive the idiosyncracies of the geniuses, and not so genius among us who come up with innovations.

Thomas Edison has been attributed with a number of interesting quotes.

I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.

Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration.

Edison seems to be of the opinion that to create truly amazing inventions, all you really need to do is work hard and don’t give up.


Einstein was also known to have a few interesting things to say:

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.

One of the best quotes ever.

One of the most famous quotes comes from Ben Franklin:

Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.

You may not agree with the sentiment, but it is one of the most quoted statements in American history.
