More From Thomas A. Edison

Damn the great executives, the men of measured merriment, damn the men with careful smiles, damn the men that run the shops, oh, damn their measured merriment.

Genius? nothing! sticking to it is the genius! any other bright-minded fellow can accomplish just as much if he will stick like hell and remember nothing that's any good works by itself. you've got to make the damn thing work!...i failed my way to success.
Genius Way Sticks
O, this faith is a living, busy, active, powerful thing! it is impossible that it should not be ceaselessly doing that which is good. it does not even ask whether good works should be done; but before the question can be asked, it has done them, and it is constantly engaged in doing them. but he who does not do such works, is a man without faith. he gropes and casts about him to find faith and good works, not knowing what either of them is, and yet prattles and idly multiplies words about faith and good works.

To despair over one's sins indicates that sin has become or wants to be internally consistent. it wants nothing to do with the good, does not want to be so weak as to listen occasionally to other talk. no, it insists on listening only to itself, on having dealings only with itself; it closes itself up within itself, indeed, locks itself inside one more inclosure, and protects itself against every attack or pursuit by the good by despairing over sin.
Listening Despair Doe
Everything that from eternity has happened in heaven and earth, the life of god and all the deeds of time simply are the struggles for spirit to know itself, to find itself, be for itself, and finally unite itself to itself; it is alienated and divided, but only so as to be able thus to find itself and return to itself...as existing in an individual form, this liberation is called 'i'; as developed to its totality, it is free spirit; as feeling, it is love; and as enjoyment, it is blessedness.

Love Marriage Poor Richard
Maybe it's just hiding somewhere. or gone on a trip to come home. but falling in love is always a pretty crazy thing. it might appear out of the blue and just grab you. who knows — maybe even tomorrow.

This is no magnificent deed, because i do not want followers, and i mean this. the moment you follow someone you cease to follow truth. i am not concerned whether you pay attention to what i say or not. i want to do a certain thing in the world and i am going to do it with unwavering concentration. i am concerning myself with only one essential thing: to set man free. i desire to free him from all cages, from all fears, and not to found religions, new sects, nor to establish new theories and new philosophies.
