Edison failed 10,000 times before he made the electric light. Do not be discouraged if you fail a few times.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When Thomas Edison worked late into the night on the electric light, he had to do it by gas lamp or candle. I'm sure it made the work seem that much more urgent.
Sometimes the best lighting of all is a power failure.
The only time you mustn't fail is the last time you try.
Failure is your invention.
Do you realize if it weren't for Edison we'd be watching TV by candlelight?
I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.
The space shuttle was often used as an example of why you shouldn't even attempt to make something reusable. But one failed experiment does not invalidate the greater goal. If that was the case, we'd never have had the light bulb.
I think you can have 10,000 explanations for failure, but no good explanation for success.
We owe a lot to Thomas Edison - if it wasn't for him, we'd be watching television by candlelight.
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.
