Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent inspiration. Success is one percent inspiration and nine percent inspiration.
This sentence itself was not stolen, but the key sentence behind it was omitted every time: "But 1% inspiration is the most important thing, even more important than 99% sweat".
Without the last sentence, the meaning of the whole sentence has completely changed. Edison was of course a genius, and he also believed in genius. He holds a "conditional recognition" attitude towards genius, that is, genius is the most important, but genius also needs hard work. Edison admitted hard work, but in the final analysis, he paid more attention to inspiration. Only this first sentence is equivalent to completely denying the meaning of inspiration.
