What is the value of an idea?
The value of an idea lies in the using of it.
Thomas A. Edison
Anything that won't sell, I don't want to invent. Its sale is proof of utility, and utility is success.
Thomas A. Edison
I never perfected an invention that I did not think about in terms of the service it might give others... I find out what the world needs, then I proceed to invent....
Thomas A. Edison
I have far more respect for the person with a single idea who gets there than for the person with a thousand ideas who does nothing....
Thomas A. Edison
New ideas in technology are literally a dime-a-dozen, or cheaper than that.
Dean Kamen
Sometimes we crash and burn. It's better to do it in private.
Dean Kamen
The value of an untested idea is equal to zero.  The value of the tested idea is then dependent on action upon the idea.  The average idea is worthless.  The inventor with one great idea is lost.  The culling of ideas is the process of invention.  You are more likely to find the best answer with 1,000 ideas than one.  Even when the idea passes the litmus tests and market research, historically all inventors have successes and failures.
