More quotes by Alexander Graham Bell

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
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
One day there will be a telephone in every major city in the USA
Alexander Graham Bell
The achievement of one goal should be the starting point of another.
Alexander Graham Bell
Neither the Army nor the Navy is of any protection, or very little protection, against aerial raids.
