Tim, and GG’s:

Add this one to your repertoire:

“There is no expedient to which a man will not resort to avoid the real labor of
thinking.”
- Sir Joshua Reynolds

Thomas Edison had this quote on signs throughout his later West Orange lab. ( I
don’t know if he had them in his earlier Menlo Park lab. )

I’m writing this from my home in Menlo Park Terrace, hard by the former site of
Edison’s Menlo Park labs, which were moved to Henry Ford’s Greenfield Village
museum about 90 years ago.  Only one small masonry building from the Edison era
is left at the Menlo Park Site, now a NJ State Park.  Fittingly, there is a tall
Art Deco memorial tower topped with an illuminated sculpture of an incandescent
lamp.
