THINKING ABOUT WHO COULD I QUOTE ? TODAY WITH SOME...'UPLIFTING'...THOUGHTS, I CHECKED OUT:  BRAINY QUOTES AND WIKIPEDIA FREE ENCYCLOPEDIA (MAKE SURE THE FOUNDER...JIMMY WALES...IS ON THE FRONT PAGE!)  I AM VERY CAREFUL WHICH SITES I GO TO FOR I KNOW YOU CAN'T REALLY...'TRUST'...ALL OF THEM.  (THESE TWO...YOU CAN!)  SO MUCH MORE INFORMATION IS ON THIS SITE AND I WILL JUST...'CHOOSE'...A FEW.  CAROLE  E  4 PM ON SATURDAY, NOVEMBER27, 2010.

                                 THOMAS EDISON

STARTED HIS CAREER AS AN INVENTOR IN NEWARK, NEW JERSEY.  HOLDS 1,093 PATENTS IN HIS NAME!  INVENTOR OF THE PHONOGRAPH...MODERN PICTURE CAMERA...AND THE ELECTRIC LIGHT BULB, TO NAME ONLY A FEW!  HERE ARE ALL HIS QUOTES:  (WITHOUT QUOTATION MARKS!) ###

JUST BECAUSE SOMETHING DOESN'T DO WHAT YOU PLANNED IT TO DO DOESN'T MEAN IT IS USELESS. ### MANY OF LIFE'S FAILURES ARE PEOPLE WHO DID NOT REALIZE HOW CLOSE THEY WERE TO SUCCESS WHEN THEY GAVE UP. ### OPPORTUNITY IS MISSED BY MOST PEOPLE BECAUSE IT IS DRESSED IN OVERALLS AND LOOKS LIKE WORK. ###OUR GREATEST WEAKNESS LIES IN GIVING UP.  THE MORE CERTAIN WAY TO SUCCEED IS ALWAYS TO TRY ONE MORE TIME. ### RESTLESSNESS AND DISCONTENT IS THE FIRST NECESSITY OF PROGRESS.  SHOW ME A THOROUGHLY SATISFIED MAN AND I WILL SHOW YOU A FAILURE. ###RESULTS! WHY, MAN, I HAVE GOTTEN A LOT OF RESULTS.  I KNOW SEVERAL THOUSAND THINGS THAT WON'T WORK. ###THE BEST THINKING HAS BEEN DONE IN SOLITUDE.  THE WORST HAS BEEN DONE IN TURMAIL. ### THE THREE GREAT ESSENTIALS, TO ACHIEVE ANYTHING WORTHWHILE ARE:  HARD WORK, STICK-TO-ITNESS, AND COMMON SENSE. ###THE VALUE OF AN IDEA LIES IN THE USING OF IT.###THEY SAY PRESIDENT WILSON HAS BLUNDERED.  PERHAPS HE HAS, BUT I NOTICE HE USUALLY BLUNDERS FORWARD. ### TO HAVE A GREAT IDEA, HAVE A LOT OF THEM.  TO INVENT, YOU NEED A GOOD IMAGINATION AND A PILE OF JUNK. (HMMMM?) ###THE CHIEF FUNCTION OF THE BODY IS TO CARRY THE BRAIN AROUND.###BE COURAGEOUS.  I HAVE SEEN MANY DEPRESSIONS IN BUSINESS.  ALWAYS, AMERICA HAS EMERGED FROM THESE STRONGER AND MORE PROSPEROUS.  BE BRAVE AS YOUR FATHERS BEFORE YOU.  HAVE FAITH.  GO FORWARD. ### GENIUS IS 1% INSPIRATION AND 99% PERPIRATION. ### ANYTHING THAT WON'T SELL, I DON'T WANT TO INVENT.  ITS SALE IS PROOF OF UTILITY AND UTILITY IS SUCCESS. ###GREAT IDEAS ORIGINATE IN THE MUSCLES. ### HELL, THERE ARE NO RULES HERE-WE'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING. ###I HAVE NOT FAILED.  I'VE JUST FOUND 10,000 WAYS THAT WON'T WORK. ###I NEVER DID A DAY'S WORK IN MY LIFE.  IT WAS ALL FUN. ###I NEVER DID ANYTHING BY ACCIDENT, NOR DID ANY OF MY INVENTIONS COME BY ACCIDENT;THEY CAME BY WORK. ###IF WE DID ALL THE THINGS WE ARE CAPABLE OF, WE WOULD LITERALLY ASTOUND OURSELVES. ###WE DON'T KNOW A MILLIONTH OF 1%  ABOUT ANYTHING. ###YOUR WORTH CONSISTS OF WHAT YOU ARE AND NOT WHAT YOU HAVE.########(NOW I KNOW I WILL INVENT SOMETHING!!)
