Alexander Graham Bell
Watson, ... if I can get a mechanism which will make a current of electricity vary in its intensity, as the air varies in density when a sound is passing through it, I can telegraph any sound, even the sound of speech.
Alexander Graham Bell
It is the man who carefully advances step by step...who is bound to succeed in the greatest degree.
Alexander Graham Bell
America is a country of inventors, and the greatest of inventors are the newspaper men.
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
The nation that secures control of the air will ultimately control the world.
Alexander Graham Bell
God has strewn our paths with wonders and we certainly should not go through life with our eyes shut
