** __Edison Quotes:__ ** There's a way to do it better - find it. They say President Wilson has blundered. Perhaps he has, but I notice he usually blunders forward. To have a great idea, have a lot of them. To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk. To my mind the old masters are not art; their value is in their scarcity. Waste is worse than loss. The time is coming when every person who lays claim to ability will keep the question of waste before him constantly. The scope of thrift is limitless. We don't know a millionth of one percent about anything. What a man's mind can create, man's character can control. What you are will show in what you do. When I have fully decided that a result is worth getting I go ahead of it and make trial after trial until it comes. Your worth consists in what you are and not in what you have. __Contribution__ ** Albert Einstein,
