"At the age of seven, my teacher thought I was a dunce and requested that I be removed from the school. But my mother believed that God had a special plan for me. Though I did not have my mother very long, she cast over me an influence which lasted all my life...If it had not been for her faith in me at a critical time in my experience, I should very likely never have become an inventor." -- Thomas Edison
