There is no expedient to which a man will not go to avoid the labor of thinking.

Other quotes by Thomas A. Edison

What a man's mind can create, man's character can control.

Results! Why, man, I have gotten a lot of results. I know several thousand things that won't work.

Nearly every man who develops an idea works it up to the point where it looks impossible, and then he gets discouraged. That's not the place to become discouraged.

Hell, there are no rules here - we're trying to accomplish something.

When I have fully decided that a result is worth getting I go ahead of it and make trial after trial until it comes.
