Quote by Samuel Morse

“I have no wish to be remembered as a painter, for I never was a painter; my idea of that profession was perhaps too exalted; I may say, is too exalted. I leave it to others more worthy to fill the niches of art.”

Samuel Morse

Samuel Morse (April 27, 1791 – April 2, 1872) was an American painter and inventor, best known for inventing the Morse code and the telegraph. Born in Charlestown, Massachusetts, he graduated from Yale University and studied painting in London, becoming a noted portrait and historical painter. In the 1830s, inspired by electromagnetism, he shifted focus to telegraphy. On May 24, 1844, he successfully demonstrated the first telegraph line from Washington, D.C., to Baltimore, sending the message "What hath God wrought." His invention revolutionized long-distance communication, laying the foundation for modern telecommunications. Morse also contributed to the arts, co-founding the National Academy of Design. He is remembered as a pioneer of the communication age. more

“Early in my career when we went to golf tournaments and charity dinners I noticed businessmen and executives would give the players their cards. Well, they're giving you their cards for a reason. I said to my wife, 'All the guys get these cards and then when they get to the parking lot they rip them up or throw them away. It's really weird.' My wife .. said maybe you should just sign a picture and mail it to them. You know, 'Great playing golf with you,' or whatever. So, I did and lo and behold some of those guys I sent pictures to way back then are now CEOs at big companies.”

“A REAL man, the kind of man a woman wants to give her life to, is one who will respect her dignity, who will honor her like the valuable treasure she is. A REAL man will not attempt to rip her precious pearl from it's protective shell, or persuade her with charm to give away her treasure prematurely, but he will wait patiently until she willingly gives him the prize of her heart. A REAL man will cherish and care for that prize forever.”
