You are writing your children’s future with your answers.

My dad used to say, ‘You wouldn’t worry so much about what people thought about you if you knew how seldom they did.

You would worry less about what people think, if you knew how little they did.

If someone out there doesn’t agree with me, then somewhere a village is missing their idiot.

Change can come in either of two important ways: Start behaving positively or stop behaving negatively.

There is no reality, only perception.

Living never wore one out so much as the effort not to live.

Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.

All life is experience, and one level is exchanged for another only when its lesson is learned.

Many people seem to believe that Greenfield Village and the Edison Institute and Museum at Dearborn, with their specimens of earlier type of American life and industry, are just a kind of antiquarian hobby of mine. I do not deny that they have given me a great deal of interest and pleasure. But the project is vastly more than a hobby. It has very definite purposes, and I hope will have results lasting down the years. One purpose is to remind the public who visit it and sometimes there are thousands a day–of how farand how fast we have come in technical progress in the last century or so. If we have come so far and so fast, is it likely that we shall stop now?

You don’t need a pack of wild horses to learn how to make a sandwich.

Let me make the superstitions of a nation and I care not who makes its laws or its songs either.

We do not know who we are until we see what we can do.

Sometimes it’s not enough to know what things mean, sometimes you have to know what things don’t mean.

By a museum, I assume you mean an institution dedicated to the events of Sept. 11 and the aftermath. If that is done with sensitivity, I think it would be most appropriate.
