More quotes by Alexander Graham Bell

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
Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.
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
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
I have had the feeling that a properly constructed flying-machine should be capable of being flown as a kite and conversely, that a properly constructed kite should be capable of use as a flying-machine when driven by its own propellers.
Alexander Graham Bell

Alexander Graham Bell
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.
Alexander Graham Bell

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
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
One day every major city in America will have a telephone.
Alexander Graham Bell
I have always considered myself as an Agnostic.
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
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 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 achievement of one goal should be the starting point of another.
Alexander Graham Bell
Leave the beaten track behind occasionally and dive into the woods.
Alexander Graham Bell
With every door that closes a new one opens.
Alexander Graham Bell
The telephone will be used to inform people that a telegram has been sent.
Alexander Graham Bell
