“Technical invention is akin to architecture and the experts must in time come to the same conclusions I have reached long ago. Sooner or later my power system will have to be adopted in its entirety and so far as I am concerned it is as good as done. If I were ever assailed by doubt of ultimate success I would dismiss it by remembering the words of that great philosopher, Lord Kelvin, who after witnessing some of my experiments said to me with tears in his eyes: ‘I am sure you will do it.'" –Nikola Tesla “World System of Wireless Transmission of Energy.” Telegraph and Telegraph Age, October 16, 1927.

Unconfirmed Quote attributed to Tesla where he talks about brain resonance and how it could be manipulated to control the mental system of the earth and human kind.

Some Amazing Nikola Tesla Art! “My brain is only a receiver, in the Universe there is a core from which we obtain knowledge, strength and inspiration. I have not penetrated into the secrets of this core, but I know that it exists.” ~ Nikola Tesla

Nikola Tesla On Wireless Technology and an interconnected communication system in 1926

Nikola Tesla recalls his experience in Colorado, and communicating with other planets.

An excerpt from Nikola Tesla's Autobiography. His experiences with electrical education in Karlstadt, Family, malaria, Cholera, rats, and illness,

Nikola Tesla's philosophy on money.

Tesla gives a brief idea of his scheme to send messages to other planets. "With a billion horsepower drawn from Niagara I am going to signal Mars, and my message will reach not only that ruddy planet but one hundred times further, even to Neptune, which is so distant that our sun looks a little bigger than a star... "Whether we can get an answer or not depends on who is there. More than likely the first answer for my neighbor will be: "Well-well-at last. We have been calling you the last ten thousand years."

The Spirit of Nikola Tesla- Tesla's Philosophy

Einstein's letter to Nikola Tesla for his 75th Birthday

Tesla talks about his Automaton and it's novel uses. His exhibition of his remote control boat in 1899 at Madison Square Gardens. And of course its potential to bring an end to war.

Tesla recounts the time he created an earthquake.

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.

A Poem by Nikola Tesla. Poem, "Fragments of Olympian Gossip" While listening on my cosmic phone I caught words from the Olympus blown. A newcomer was shown around; That much I could guess, aided by sound. "There's Archimedes with his lever Still busy on problems as ever. Says: matter and force are transmutable And wrong the laws you thought immutable." "Below, on Earth, they work at full blast And news are coming in thick and fast. The latest tells of a cosmic gun. To be pelted is very poor fun. We are wary with so much at stake, Those beggars are a pest—no mistake." "Too bad, Sir Isaac, they dimmed your renown And turned your great science upside down. Now a long haired crank, Einstein by name, Puts on your high teaching all the blame. Says: matter and force are transmutable And wrong the laws you thought immutable." "I am much too ignorant, my son, For grasping schemes so finely spun. My followers are of stronger mind And I am content to stay behind, Perhaps I failed, but I did my best, These masters of mine may do the rest. Come, Kelvin, I have finished my cup. When is your friend Tesla coming up." "Oh, quoth Kelvin, he is always late, It would be useless to remonstrate." Then silence—shuffle of soft slippered feet— I knock and—the bedlam of the street. Nikola Tesla, Novice

Nikola Tesla receives a letter from the man who discovered x-rays WC Roentgen

“By God! Nothing is as sacred to me as my church and my forefathers’ law and custom, and nothing so precious as liberty, well-being and advancement of my people and my brothers, and for these two, the church and the people, wherever I am, I’ll be ready to lay down my life.” –Milutin Tesla (Nikola Tesla’s father) July 31, 1852

...I have fame and untold wealth, more than this, and yet - how many articles have been written in which I was declared to be an impractical unsuccessful man, and how many poor, struggling writers have called me a visionary. Such is the folly and shortsightedness of the world! NIKOLA TESLA

Tesla on Human Struggle

“The technical advances are inevitably driving us toward the grossest kind of materialism. And it will not be very long before the social system of bee life will become universal. “The individual will not be permitted to achieve great wealth and power; his privacy will be invaded in a thousand ways. He will be restricted in his efforts in every direction–will virtually disappear in the wave of collectivism which will sweep the world. ”This materialistic tide can only be stemmed by idealism, which is a force tending to free what we call the soul of man from physical fetters. But although there might be periods of alternating dominance of these two principles–materialism and idealism–ultimately the materialistic tendencies will become dominating.” —Nikola Tesla (“Great Scientific Discovery Impends.” Galveston Daily News, Galveston, Texas, March 13, 1932, Page 11.)

Tesla talks about the future of Alternative energy solutions.

A poem written by Tesla's good friend Robert Underwood Johnson

"There is no doubt that wireless communication anywhere on the globe is possible and I have proved it. Here is how we can, with the utmost simplicity, explain this phenomenon: when we raise our voice and get an echo, we know that the The sound emitted collided with a wall or other obstacle, which sent it back to us. The electric wave reflects in the same way as the sound. Instead of sending sound vibrations towards a distant obstacle, I sent electric vibrations towards the ends of the earth envelope and, like the obstacle in the case of the sound wave, they themselves returned the vibrations. In place of the echo, I obtained a stationary electric wave, reflected and sent back from far away “.——Nikola Tesla, Colorado Springs, 1899

“There is no conflict between the ideal of religion and the ideal of science, but science is opposed to theological dogmas because science is founded on fact. To me, the universe is simply a great machine which never came into being and never will end. The human being is no exception to the natural order. Man, like the universe, is a machine. Nothing enters our minds or determines our actions which is not directly or indirectly a response to stimuli beating upon our sense organs from without.”
