My Main Purpose In Life Is To

I Try Not To Invent Things That People Don't Need.

I Never Knew I Had An Inventive Talent Until Phrenology Told Me So. I Was A Stranger To Myself Until Then!

My Main Purpose In Life Is To Make Enough Money To Create Ever More Inventions…. The Dove Is My Emblem…. I Want To Save And Advance Human Life, Not Destroy It…. I Am Proud Of The Fact That I Have Never Invented Weapons To Kill….

The Perils Of Overwork Are Slight Compared With The Dangers Of Inactivity.
