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

Other quotes by Thomas A. Edison

The reason a lot of people do not recognize opportunity is because it usually goes around wearing overalls looking like hard work.

Restlessness is discontent and discontent is the first necessity of progress. Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.

I am proud of the fact that I never invented weapons to kill.

One might think that the money value of an invention constitutes its reward to the man who loves his work. But... I continue to find my greatest pleasure, and so my reward, in the work that precedes what the world calls success.

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
