Alexander Graham Bell
What this power is, I cannot say... All I know is that it exists.
Alexander Graham Bell

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
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
Washington is no place in which to carry out inventions
Alexander Graham Bell

Alexander Graham Bell
