Nikola Tesla

The greatest wealth in life is the ability to inspire positive change.

The universe is a dance, and it is my duty to inspire others to join its celebration.

I have always been a man of innovation, and I have always strived to inspire others to create a better future for all.

I don't care that they stole my idea. I care that they don't have any of their own.

The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine.

The day science begins to study non-physical phenomena, it will make more progress in one decade than in all the previous centuries of its existence.

Invention is the most important product of man's creative brain. The ultimate purpose is the complete mastery of mind over the material world, the harnessing of the sun and the stars. The overturning of the limitations of human flesh by science and, finally, the refashioning of human life to a standard that nowhere exists today.

The individual is ephemeral, races and nations come and pass away, but man remains. Therein lies the profound difference between the individual and the whole.

The gift of mental power comes from God, Divine Being, and if we concentrate our minds on that truth, we become in tune with this great power.

What one man sends into space is kept there and comes back upon him. Nothing can be lost or escaped in the universe.

The mind is sharper and keener in seclusion and uninterrupted solitude. Originality thrives in the absence of influence.

I am not an atheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds.

The world is not ready for the wonders I have in mind.

Electricity is not a fairy. It is a giant, and we must handle it with respect.

The earth is a conductor of acoustical resonance.

Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'

The progressive development and perfection of the human race in body and mind is not my dream; it is the birthright of every member of the human race.

Let the future tell the truth and evaluate each one according to his work and accomplishments. The present is theirs; the future, for which I have really worked, is mine.

There is no subject more captivating, more worthy of study, than nature. Yet the enormous complexity of the subject is such that every investigator, no matter how hard he works, remains at its edge, and even the most advanced men of science realize their position.

The beauty and allure of science is that it is a tool to understand the beauty and mystery of the universe.
