Alexander Graham Bell

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
There are two critical points in every aerial flight-its beginning and its end.
Alexander Graham Bell
The final result of our researches has widened the class of substances sensitive to light vibrations, until we can propound the fact of such sensitiveness being a general property of all matter.
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
With every door that closes a new one opens.
Alexander Graham Bell
Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds.
