Nikola Tesla - His Words #793941

This book is a collection of 80 fundamental quotes and aphorisms of Nikola Tesla: 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 really worked, is mine. Money does not represent such a value as men have placed upon it. All my money has been invested into experiments with which I have made new discoveries enabling mankind to have a little easier life. Archimedes was my ideal. I admired the works of artists, but to my mind, they were only shadows and semblances. The inventor, I thought, gives to the world creations which are palpable, which live and work. I have harnessed the cosmic rays and caused them to operate a motive device. The feeling is constantly growing on me that I had been the first to hear the greeting of one planet to another. It seems that I have always been ahead of my time. I had to wait nineteen years before Niagara was harnessed by my system, fifteen years before the basic inventions for wireless which I gave to the world in 1893 were applied universally.
