A quote from Problem of Increasing Human Energy

Found the original sources:
Tesla, Jan 7 1905, "The Transmission of Electrical Energy Without Wires As A Means For Furthering Peace":
"It is not a dream, it is a simple feat of scientific electrical engineering, only expensive — blind, faint-hearted, doubting world!"

"It is not a dream, it is a simple feat of scientific electrical engineering."

Tesla, July 10 1933, press conference on his 77th birthday:
"Electric power is everywhere present in unlimited quantities and can drive the world's machinery without the need of coal, oil, gas, or any other of the common fuels."

Video:
"Electric power can drive the worlds machinery, without the need of coal, oil or gas."

Tesla, Jan 7 1905, "The Transmission of Electrical Energy Without Wires As A Means For Furthering Peace":
"Humanity is not yet sufficiently advanced to be willingly led by the discoverer's keen searching sense. But who knows? Perhaps it is better in this present world of ours that a revolutionary idea or
invention instead of being helped and patted, be hampered and ill-treated in its adolescence — by want of means, by selfish interest, pedantry, stupidity and ignorance; that it be attacked and stifled;
that it pass through bitter trials and tribulations, through the heartless strife of commercial existence. So do we get our light. So all that was great in the past was ridiculed, condemned, combated,
suppressed — only to emerge all the more powerfully, all the more triumphantly from the struggle."

Video:
"Although, perhaps, humanity is not yet sufficiently advanced to be willingly led by the inventors keen searching sense.
Perhaps it is better in this present world of ours that a revolutionary idea...
be hampered and ill-treated in its adolescence.
All that was great in the past was ridiculed, condemned, combated and suppressed
— only to emerge all the more triumphantly from the struggle."

Tesla, June, 1900, "The Problem of Increasing Human Energy":

"The scientific man does not aim at an immediate result. He does not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up... His duty is to lay the foundation for those who are to come, and point the way."

Video:
"Our duty is to lay the foundation for those who are to come, and to point the way."

Tesla, May 20 1891, "Experiments With Alternate Currents of Very High Frequency and their Application to Methods of Artificial Illumination":
"We are whirling through endless space with an inconceivable speed, all around us everything is spinning, everything is moving, everywhere is energy. There must be some way of availing ourselves of this energy more directly. Then, with the light obtained from the medium, with the power derived from it, with every form of energy obtained without effort, from the store forever inexhaustible, humanity will advance with giant strides"

Video:
"Yes, humanity will advance with giant strides.
We are whirling through endless space with an inconceivable speed,
all around us everything is spinning, everything is moving, everywhere there is energy!"
