Joshua Reynolds on man's impulse to avoid the work of thinking
There is no expedient to which a man will not resort to avoid the real labor of thinking.
~ Joshua Reynolds, as quoted by Thomas Edison in "They Won't Think," The Book of Business Wisdom
Thomas Edison on thinking
Why do so many men never amount to anything? Because they don't think.
The man who doesn't make up his mind to cultivate the habit of thinking misses the greatest pleasure in life. He not only misses the greatest pleasure, but he can not make the most of himself. All progress, all success, springs from thinking.
