Alexander Graham Bell

Alexander Graham Bell
Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds.
Alexander Graham Bell

Alexander Graham Bell

Alexander Graham Bell
Night is a more quiet time to work. It aids thought.
Alexander Graham Bell
America is a country of inventors, and the greatest of inventors are the newspaper men.
Alexander Graham Bell
The nation that secures control of the air will ultimately control the world.
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
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
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
When one door closes, another one opens.
Alexander Graham Bell
One day every major city in America will have a telephone.
Alexander Graham Bell
The only difference between success and failure is the ability to take action.
Alexander Graham Bell
Observe, Remember, Compare.
