What was the quote Thomas Edison once said?

Question

Thomas Edison said something like this: "i didn't fail i just found 1000 ways not to make a light bulb." What was the actual quote?

I am trying ot find it for a paper so thanks!

Answer 1

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

Answer 2

I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work.

If I find 10,000 ways something won't work, I haven't failed. I am not discouraged, because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward.
