Guglielmo Marconi

My work has been a labor of love.

I have not invented a new force, I have only applied an old one to a new purpose.

The coming of the wireless era will make it possible for man to communicate with man, no matter how far apart they may be.

The wireless telegraph is not a discovery, but an application of discoveries already made.

I am convinced that the day will come when wireless will be used for the transmission of power without wires.

My greatest difficulty has been to convince people that the thing was possible.

I have always been a firm believer in the power of perseverance.

The sea is a great teacher, and I have learned much from it.

Science is a wonderful thing if one does not have to earn one's living at it.

I am not a scientist, I am an engineer.

The most important thing is not to stop questioning.

I have never been afraid of hard work.

The greatest reward for a man's labor is not what he gets for it, but what he becomes by it.

Wireless communication will unite the world.

I have always been fascinated by the invisible forces of nature.

The true inventor is one who sees the obvious, but no one else does.

My work is my life.

The greatest adventure is to see what lies beyond the horizon.

I believe that the human mind is capable of achieving anything it can conceive.

The most important quality for an inventor is patience.
