The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly. One must be sane to think clearly, but one can think deeply and be quite insane.

From Nikola Tesla

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.

From Nikola Tesla

I do not think you can name many great inventions that have been made by married men.

From Nikola Tesla

The spread of civilisation may be likened to a fire; first, a feeble spark, next a flickering flame, then a mighty blaze, ever increasing in speed and power.

From 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 have really worked, is mine.

From Nikola Tesla

In the twenty-first century, the robot will take the place which slave labor occupied in ancient civilization.

From Nikola Tesla

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.

From Nikola Tesla

The feeling is constantly growing on me that I had been the first to hear the greeting of one planet to another.

From Nikola Tesla

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.

From Nikola Tesla

Of the various branches of electrical investigation, perhaps the most interesting and immediately the most promising is that dealing with alternating currents.
