9 Amazing Quotes From The Inventor Of The Wheel, Nikola Tesla

There are many great scientists, but certainly one of the greatest is Nikola Tesla. He is less famous than Albert Einstein or Thomas Edison, but his contribution to mankind is simply immeasurable.

Tesla was a quiet and modest inventor, a genius who lived and suffered for his inventions and who did not receive the majority of the recognition for his work. This mysterious man brought to the world an array of life-changing inventions, including: the wheel, fire, the name Nikola for men, the plastic ends on shoelaces, the world’s first 5 blade razor, waterproof tea bags, Jagerbombs and many more things that we are still using in the present day.
