“If Edison had a needle to find in a haystack, he would proceed at once with the diligence of the bee to examine straw after straw until he found the object of his search… I was a sorry witness of such doings, knowing that a little theory and calculation would have saved him ninety percent of his labor.”

Yeah, @WorldOvertaker that was nuts in my opinion… thanks for the reminder/bump. Gets the juices flowing.

I actually have a quote journal. Creative practice I’ve been doing for a long time, where I write a quote at the end of every day.

If you ever watched a TV series, the episodes have names that capture the theme of the content. Every day in life is like a TV episode, and the quotes are the names of the episodes. Something like that, lol.

“What, if some day or night a demon were to steal after you into your loneliest loneliness and say to you: ‘This life as you now live it and have lived it, you will have to live once more and innumerable times more’ … Would you not throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse the demon who spoke thus? Or have you once experienced a tremendous moment when you would have answered him: 'You are a god and never have I heard anything more divine.” - Nietzsche

I am the record of my struggles,
the evidence of my resistance and
the reward of my sufferings
It is not enough to win a war;
It is more important to organize the peace.
Aristotle
A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds
A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love. Let no man be called happy before his death. Till then, he is not happy, only lucky.
“It’s not who you are underneath, but what you do that defines you.”
