Today marks the birthday of the greatest inventor in all of history. Thomas Edison lived the statement that if you want to succeed, then increase your rate of failure. That is a profound statement from a man who had more than 10,000 failures and over a thousand patents. Below are a few quotes from Edison.

"The three things that are most essential to achievement are common sense, hard work and stick-to-it-iv-ness....."

"Unfortunately, there seems to be far more opportunity out there than ability.... We should remember that good fortune often happens when opportunity meets with preparation."

"From his neck down a man is worth a couple of dollars a day, from his neck up he is worth anything that his brain can produce."

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest her or his patients in the care of the human frame, in a proper diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease."
