Image
Washington is no place in which to carry out inventions
Alexander Graham Bell
Image
God has strewn our paths with wonders and we certainly should not go through life with our eyes shut
Alexander Graham Bell
Image
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
Image
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
Image
One day every major city in America will have a telephone.
Alexander Graham Bell
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The achievement of one goal should be the starting point of another.
Alexander Graham Bell
Image
Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.
Alexander Graham Bell
Image
The only difference between success and failure is the ability to take action.
Alexander Graham Bell
Image
It is the man who carefully advances step by step...who is bound to succeed in the greatest degree.
Alexander Graham Bell
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Observe, Remember, Compare.
Alexander Graham Bell
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The telephone will be used to inform people that a telegram has been sent.
Alexander Graham Bell
Image
Man is an animal which, alone among the animals, refuses to be satisfied by the fulfillment of animal desires.
Alexander Graham Bell
Image
We are all too much inclined, I think, to walk through life with our eyes shut. There are things all round us and right at our very feet that we have never seen, because we have never really looked.
Alexander Graham Bell
