Famous quotes from Thomas Engine

You shouldn't call that a mistake.
Tell them you studied.

I've simply found 10,000 ways that won't work.

The surest way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

But that's where the real battle begins.

Even so, this is still just a bonus.
To work tirelessly and persistently.
This is the most important quality of all, and the key to success.

Most people are working on something all day long.
The only difference is that their work is extremely diverse, while I focus all my energy on just one task.

Those who rely solely on effort are merely wasting their energy.

The solution to a new problem cannot be found in plausible ideas.





Every invention is the result of an unimaginable amount of passion poured into it by the people involved.




That will be nourishment for growth.

I will never give up until I get what I want.


Because every failure is a step forward.



However, we must be careful, or humans will end up being used by machines.



Because I find everything I do incredibly enjoyable.




And then, you move forward and invent it.
