Nikola Tesla was a Serbian inventor, electrical engineer, physicist, and futurist who is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system … Attempting to develop inventions he could patent and market, Tesla conducted a range of experiments with mechanical oscillators/generators, electrical discharge tubes, and early X-ray imaging … Just as remarkable as his numerous scientific achievements was the selflessness of his work, as well as the resolve he showed in pursuing the same.  It appears that quite a few of his discoveries were stolen by others who profited greatly therefrom, and yet by all indications Tesla never harbored ill-will towards those perpetrators … Tesla exuded his highly developed sense of compassion by walking to the park every day in his earlier years to feed the pigeons there, and later by taking to feeding them at the window of his hotel room, and regularly bringing injured ones in to nurse them back to health.

“I don’t care that they stole my idea.  I care that they don’t have any of their own … The present is theirs; the future, for which I truly worked, is mine … What we now need is closer contact and better understanding between individuals and communities all over the Earth, and the elimination of egoism and pride which is always prone to plunging the world into primeval barbarism and strife.” ~ Nikola Tesla
