Thomas Alva Edison

Famous quotes containing the words thomas and/or edison:

    Now stamp the Lord’s Prayer on a grain of rice,
    A Bible-leaved of all the written woods
    Strip to this tree: a rocking alphabet,
    Genesis in the root, the scarecrow word,
    And one light’s language in the book of trees.
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration.
    —Thomas Alva Edison (1847–1931)
