science, but science is opposed to theological dogmas because science
is founded on fact. To me, the universe is simply a great machine

no exception to the natural order. Man, like the universe, is a machine.


22. The feeling is constantly growing on me that I had been the first to

33. Archimedes was my ideal. I admired the works of artists, but to

thought, gives to the world creations which are palpable, which live
and work.


34. I constructed a laboratory in the neighborhood of Pikes Peak. The
conditions in the pure air of the Colorado Mountains proved extremely
favorable for my experiments, and the results were most gratifying to

in the back pages to accounts of crime or political controversies, but
will headline on the front pages the proclamation of a new scientific

existing between widely different forces and phenomena and has thus

manifestations to our senses.

brain unfolding to success such emotions make a man forget food,
sleep, friends, love, everything.

from the air will refertilize her womb. I developed a process for this
purpose in 1900. It was perfected fourteen years later under the
stress of war by German chemists.


39. 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

40. By an irony of fate, my first employment was as a draughtsman. I
hated drawing; it was for me the very worst of annoyances.

of chief electrician to the telephone company.

in thought on a screen and render it visible at any place desired. The
perfection of this means of reading thought will create a revolution for

not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up. His work is
like that of the planter for the future. His duty is to lay the
foundation for those who are to come, and point the way.


44. When a coil is operated with currents of very high frequency,
beautiful brush effects may be produced, even if the coil be of
comparatively small dimensions. The experimenter may vary them in
many ways, and, if it were nothing else, they afford a pleasing sight.


45. Modern science says: The sun is the past, the earth is the present,
the moon is the future. From an incandescent mass we have
originated, and into a frozen mass we shall turn. Merciless is the law
of nature, and rapidly and irresistibly we are drawn to our doom.


46. If we want to reduce poverty and misery, if we want to give to
every deserving individual what is needed for a safe existence of an
intelligent being, we want to provide more machinery, more power.
Power is our mainstay, the primary source of our many-sided
energies.

47. The human being is a self-propelled automaton entirely under the
control of external influences. Willful and predetermined though they
appear, his actions are governed not from within, but from without. He
is like a float tossed about by the waves of a turbulent sea.


48. The universal utilization of water power and its long-distance
transmission will supply every household with cheap power and will
dispense with the necessity of burning fuel. The struggle for existence
being lessened, there should be development along ideal rather than
material lines.


49. The year 2100 will see eugenics universally established. In past
ages, the law governing the survival of the fittest roughly weeded out
the less desirable strains. Then mans new sense of pity began to
interfere with the ruthless workings of nature. As a result, we continue
to keep alive and to breed the unfit.


50. There is no doubt that some plant food, such as oatmeal, is more
economical than meat, and superior to it in regard to both mechanical
and mental performance. Such food, moreover, taxes our digestive
organs decidedly less, and, in making us more contented and sociable,
produces an amount of good difficult to estimate.


51. It is paradoxical, yet true, to say, that the more we know, the more
ignorant we become in the absolute sense, for it is only through
enlightenment that we become conscious of our limitations. Precisely
one of the most gratifying results of intellectual evolution is the
continuous opening up of new and greater prospects.


52. All knowledge or form conception is evoked through the medium
of the eye, either in response to disturbances directly received on the
retina or to their fainter secondary effects and reverberations. Other
sense organs can only call forth feelings which have no reality of
existence and of which no conception can be formed.



http://humoropedia.com/nikolateslaquotes/ 10/23
2/20/2017 57NikolaTeslaQuotesYouShouldReadBeforeYouDie


53. We have soon to have everywhere smoke annihilators, dust
absorbers, ozonizers, sterilizers of water, air, food and clothing, and
accident preventers on streets, elevated roads and in subways. It will
become next to impossible to contract disease germs or get hurt in the
city, and country folk will got to town to rest and get well.


54. With ideas it is like with dizzy heights you climb: At first they cause
you discomfort and you are anxious to get down, distrustful of your
own powers; but soon the remoteness of the turmoil of life and the
inspiring influence of the altitude calm your blood; your step gets firm
and sure and you begin to look for dizzier heights.


55. Though we may never be able to comprehend human life, we
know certainly that it is a movement, of whatever nature it be. The
existence of movement unavoidably implies a body which is being
moved and a force which is moving it. Hence, wherever there is life,
there is a mass moved by a force. All mass possesses inertia; all force
tends to persist.


56. I am part of a light, and it is the music. The Light fills my six senses:
I see it, hear, feel, smell, touch and think. Thinking of it means my sixth
sense. Particles of Light are written note. O bolt of lightning can be an
entire sonata. A thousand balls of lightening is a concert.. For this
concert I have created a Ball Lightning, which can be heard on the icy
peaks of the Himalayas.


57. Nature may reach the same result in many ways. Like a wave in
the physical world, in the infinite ocean of the medium which pervades
all, so in the world of organisms, in life, an impulse started proceeds
onward, at times, may be, with the speed of light, at times, again, so
slowly that for ages and ages it seems to stay, passing through
processes of a complexity inconceivable to men, but in all its forms, in
all its stages, its energy ever and ever integrally present. A single ray
of light from a distant star falling upon the eye of a tyrant in bygone
times may have altered the course of his life, may have changed the
destiny of nations, may have transformed the surface of the globe, so
http://humoropedia.com/nikolateslaquotes/ 11/23
2/20/2017 57NikolaTeslaQuotesYouShouldReadBeforeYouDie

intricate, so inconceivably complex are the processes in Nature. In no


way can we get such an overwhelming idea of the grandeur of Nature
than when we consider, that in accordance with the law of the
conservation of energy, throughout the Infinite, the forces are in a
perfect balance, and hence the energy of a single thought may
determine the motion of a universe.


58. Fights between individuals, as well as governments and nations,
invariably result from misunderstandings in the broadest
interpretation of this term. Misunderstandings are always caused by
the inability of appreciating one anothers point of view. This again is
due to the ignorance of those concerned, not so much in their own, as
in their mutual fields. The peril of a clash is aggravated by a more or
less predominant sense of combativeness, posed by every human
being. To resist this inherent fighting tendency the best way is to
dispel ignorance of the doings of others by a systematic spread of
general knowledge. With this object in view, it is most important to aid
exchange of thought and intercourse.
