I have always been ahead of my time.

Of all things I liked books best.

If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration.

By an irony of fate, my first employment was as a draughtsman. I hated drawing; it was for me the very worst of annoyances. Fortunately, it was not long before I secured the position I sought, that of chief electrician to the telephone company.

So we find that the three possible solutions of the great problem of increasing human energy are answered by the three words: food, peace, work... Their scientific meaning and purpose now clear to me: food to increase the mass, peace to diminish the retarding force, and work to increase the force accelerating human movement.

Be alone, that is the secret of invention; be alone, that is when ideas are born.

Of all the frictional resistances, the one that most retards human movement is ignorance.
