Thomas Edison said, "If the only thing we leave our kids is the quality of enthusiasm, we will have given them an estate of incalculable value." Edison's research laboratory burned to the ground when he was 67. As the fire consumed his world-famous "invention factory," Edison told his children, "Kids, go get your mother. She'll never see another fire like this one." Edis, technorati.com

Edison, Thomas Alva -- Remarks to M. A. Rosanoff, ?Edison in His Laboratory,? Harper?s (Sep 1932) 1 Citation If there is such a thing as luck, then I must be the most unlucky fellow in the world. I?ve never once made a lucky strike in all my life. When I get after something I need, I start finding everything in the world I don?t need ? one damn thing after another. I find ninety-nine things I don?t need, and then comes number one hundred , and that ? at the very last ? turns out to be just what I had been looking for. -- Thomas Alva Edison (1847-1931) American inventor, technorati.com
