Re: "I never did anything by accident, nor did any of my inventions come by accident. They came by work."
According to impartial historians, the work was often that of others. I think the lawsuit regarding the actual inventor of the motion picture is still ongoing, or just completed recently. A French fellow did it before Edison and Edison ripped him off. I think the same is true of some of Tesla's work.
