More quotes by Alexander Graham Bell
One day every major city in America will have a telephone.
Alexander Graham Bell
There are two critical points in every aerial flight-its beginning and its end.
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
Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds.
Alexander Graham Bell
Don't keep forever on the public road, going only where others have gone and following one after the other like a flock of sheep. Leave the beaten track occasionally and dive into the woods.
Alexander Graham Bell
What this power is I cannot say all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it.
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
Night is a more quiet time to work. It aids thought.
Alexander Graham Bell
What this power is, I cannot say... All I know is that it exists.
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
It is the man who carefully advances step by step...who is bound to succeed in the greatest degree.
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
The telephone will be used to inform people that a telegram has been sent.
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
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
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
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
The inventor is a man who looks around upon the world and is not contented with things as they are. He wants to improve whatever he sees, he wants to benefit the world he is haunted by an idea. The spirit of invention possesses him, seeking materialization.
Alexander Graham Bell
The only difference between success and failure is the ability to take action.
Alexander Graham Bell
First words on the first telephone - Mr. Watson - come here - I want to see you.
Alexander Graham Bell
