More quotes by Alexander Graham Bell
Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.
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

Alexander Graham Bell
The only difference between success and failure is the ability to take action.
Alexander Graham Bell

Alexander Graham Bell

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
What this power is, I cannot say... All I know is that it exists.
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
When one door closes, another one opens.
Alexander Graham Bell
Washington is no place in which to carry out inventions
Alexander Graham Bell
I have always considered myself as an Agnostic.
Alexander Graham Bell
