Thomas Edison Reads Not For Entertainment But To Increase His Store Of Knowledge. He Sucks In Information As Eagerly As The Bee Sucks Honey From Flowers. The Whole World, So To Speak, Pours Its Wisdom Into His Mind. He Regards It As A Criminal Waste Of Time To Go Through The Slow And Painful Ordeal Of Ascertaining Things For One's Self If These Same Things Have Already Been Ascertained And Made Available By Others. In Edison's Mind Knowledge Is Power.

No Man Can Fight His Way To The Top And Stay At The Top Without Exercising The Fullest Measure Of Grit, Courage, Determination, Resolution. Every Man Who Gets Anywhere Does So Because He Has First Firmly Resolved To Progress In The World And Then Has Enough Stick-to-it-tiveness To Transform His Resolution Into Reality. Without Resolution, No Man Can Win Any Worthwhile Place Among His Fellow Men.

An Idea, Like A Machine, Must Have Power Applied To It Before It Can Accomplish Anything.
