Nikola Tesla Books
The truth is sacred for Tesla, as he has always believed that only what is true is permanent and that the truth will always prevail. He considers lies to be the root of all vices, and therefore, one should never serve falsehood, regardless of any benefits it may bring.
Tesla maintained perfect sincerity and purity of soul throughout his life. He quickly discerns anyone approaching insincerely or not speaking the truth. He senses deceivers and flatterers, casting them aside with disdain.
Nikola Tesla also cannot tolerate gossip. If someone speaks ill of an absent person in his presence, Tesla immediately turns away, considering gossip unworthy.
The personality of our dear Uncle Nikola Tesla is great and sublime, children. All the finest virtues, the loftiest qualities, adorn him. When you become acquainted with his later life and work, you will further realize how this great man elevated himself above others.
