More quotes by Alexander Graham Bell
Neither the Army nor the Navy is of any protection, or very little protection, against aerial raids.
Alexander Graham Bell
I have always considered myself as an Agnostic.
Alexander Graham Bell
Leave the beaten track behind occasionally and dive into the woods. Every time you do you will be certain to find something you have never seen before.
Alexander Graham Bell
Leave the beaten track behind occasionally and dive into the woods.
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
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 only difference between success and failure is the ability to take action.
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
Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.
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
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
Man is an animal which, alone among the animals, refuses to be satisfied by the fulfillment of animal desires.
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
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
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
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
Night is a more quiet time to work. It aids thought.
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
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
With every door that closes a new one opens.
Alexander Graham Bell
