The Quotable Edison

A prolific inventor and holder of numerous patents, Thomas Edison was called a "magician," "the Napoleon of Science" and the "Inventor of the Age." But he was also a practical joker and a self-made man with a certain disdain for polite society. The Quotable Edison offers a wealth of his insightful, enlightening and sometimes humorous comments on subjects from business to politics, from religion to nutrition, from advice to boys to opinions on women's clothing.
