facts connections planets
So astounding are the facts in this connection, that it would seem as though the Creator, himself had electrically designed this planet...
motivational success future
The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine.
loss views effort
We build but to tear down. Most of our work and resource is squandered. Our onward march is marked by devastation. Everywhere there is an appalling loss of time, effort and life. A cheerless view, but true.
progress satanic becoming
To conquer by sheer force is becoming harder and harder every day. Defensive is getting continuously the advantage of offensive, as we progress in the satanic science of destruction.
attitude sunshine ideas
The practical success of an idea, irrespective of its inherent merit, is dependent on the attitude of the contemporaries. If timely it is quickly adopted; if not, it is apt to fare like a sprout lured out of the ground by warm sunshine, only to be injured and retarded in its growth by the succeeding frost.
self joy sanctuary
Love: I recognize the emotion for what it is, an irrational self-destructive impulse, which is disguised as joy.
unique land profound
The recurrence of a phenomenon like Edison is not very likely. The profound change of conditions and the ever increasing necessity of theoretical training would seem to make it impossible. He will occupy a unique and exalted position in the history of his native land, which might well be proud of his great genius and undying achievements in the interest of humanity.
mistake mean people
They say much about the Einstein's theory now. According to Einstein the ether does not exist and many people agree with him. But it is a mistake in my opinion. Ether's opponents refer to the experiments of Maykelson - Morli [Michelson-Morley] who made attempts to detect the Earth's movement relative to the fixed-bed ether. These experiments failed, however it didn't mean the ether's non-existence. I always based as fact the existence of mechanical ether in my works and therefore I could achieve positive success.
should-have energy source
All peoples everywhere should have free energy sources.
proud croatians fatherland
I am equally proud of my Serbian origin and my Croatian fatherland.
patents marconi fellows
Marconi is a good fellow. Let him continue. He is using 17 of my patents.
father book reading
Of all things I liked books best. My father had a large library and whenever I could manage I tried to satisfy my passion for reading.
self discipline wish
I could only achieve success in my life through self-discipline, and I applied it until my wish and my will became one.
distance moving sea
We may produce at will, from a sending station. an electrical effect in any particular region of the globe; we may determine the relative position or course of a moving object, such as a vessel at sea, the distance traversed by the same, or its speed.
