When one door closes, another opens but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.

More quotes by Alexander Graham Bell
It is the man who carefully advances step by step...who is bound to succeed in the greatest degree.
Alexander Graham Bell
Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds. I may be given credit for having blazed the trail, but when I look at the subsequent developments I feel the credit is due to others rather than to myself.
Alexander Graham Bell
There cannot be mental atrophy in any person who continues to observe, to remember what he observes, and to seek answers for his unceasing hows and whys about things.
Alexander Graham Bell
One day every major city in America will have a telephone.
Alexander Graham Bell
I have heard articulate speech produced by sunlight I have heard a ray of the sun laugh and cough and sing! … I have been able to hear a shadow, and I have even perceived by ear the passage of a cloud across the sun's disk.
Alexander Graham Bell
Leave the beaten track behind occasionally and dive into the woods.
Alexander Graham Bell
You cannot force ideas. Successful ideas are the result of slow growth. Ideas do not reach perfection in a day, no matter how much study is put upon them.
Alexander Graham Bell
Grand telegraphic discovery today … Transmitted vocal sounds for the first time ... With some further modification I hope we may be enabled to distinguish … the “timbre” of the sound. Should this be so, conversation viva voce by telegraph will be a fait accompli.
Alexander Graham Bell
Man is an animal which, alone among the animals, refuses to be satisfied by the fulfillment of animal desires.
Alexander Graham Bell
Ordinary people who know nothing of phonetics or elocution have difficulties in understanding slow speech composed of perfect sounds, while they have no difficulty in comprehending an imperfect gabble if only the accent and rhythm are natural.
Alexander Graham Bell
There are two critical points in every aerial flight-its beginning and its end.
Alexander Graham Bell
The nation that secures control of the air will ultimately control the world.
Alexander Graham Bell
The telephone will be used to inform people that a telegram has been sent.
Alexander Graham Bell
Wherever you may find the inventor, you may give him wealth or you may take from him all that he has and he will go on inventing. He can no more help inventing that he can help thinking or breathing.
Alexander Graham Bell
I have travelled around the globe. I have seen the Canadian and American Rockies, the Andes, the Alps and the Highlands of Scotland, but for simple beauty, Cape Breton outrivals them all!
Alexander Graham Bell
God has strewn our paths with wonders and we certainly should not go through life with our eyes shut
Alexander Graham Bell
The day will come when the man at the telephone will be able to see the distant person to whom he is speaking.
Alexander Graham Bell
A man, as a general rule, owes very little to what he is born with - a man is what he makes of himself.
Alexander Graham Bell
Man is the result of slow growth that is why he occupies the position he does in animal life. What does a pup amount to that has gained its growth in a few days or weeks, beside a man who only attains it in as many years.
Alexander Graham Bell
The achievement of one goal should be the starting point of another.
Alexander Graham Bell
