Thomas A. Edison

Be courageous! Have faith! Go forward.

We are all inventors, each sailing out on a voyage of discovery, guided each by a private chart, of which there is no duplicate. The world is all gates, all opportunities.

There are three constants in life… change, choice and principles.

Thought is useful when it motivates for action, and a hindrance when it substitutes for action.

Goals enable you to do more for yourself and others, too.

Never believe anything until it has been officially denied.

Hope is the power that gives a person the confidence to step out and try.

When you want to express yourself, a lot of times words can get in the way.

Time well spent results in more money to spend, more money to save, and more time to vacation.

Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.

I’m really clear about what my life mission is now. There’s no more depression or lethargy, and I feel like I’ve returned to the athlete I once was. I’m integrating all the parts of me – jock, musician, writer, poet, philosopher – and becoming stronger as a result.

Originality is the fine art of remembering what you hear but forgetting where you heard it.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

A person with a clear purpose will make progress on even the roughest road. A person with no purpose will make no progress even on the smoothest road.

Getting up and moving forward is a choice.

Anyone who thinks my story is anywhere near over is sadly mistaken.
