[Ads-l] Pauling quote?

[Stephen Goranson]

Elsewhere I wrote:

"A saying (with variations) attributed (maybe truly, though I don't have absolute proof) to Linus Pauling (or maybe Thomas Edison) is, in any case:
"The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas and throw away the bad ones."

Whether it's a good idea to post it here, I leave open.
