Alexander Graham Bell
What this power is, I cannot say... All I know is that it exists.
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
One day there will be a telephone in every major city in the USA
Alexander Graham Bell

Alexander Graham Bell
With every door that closes a new one opens.
Alexander Graham Bell
When one door closes, another one opens.
Alexander Graham Bell
Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing that we see too late the one that is open.
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
Night is a more quiet time to work. It aids thought.
Alexander Graham Bell
Man is the result of slow growth that is why he occupies the position he does in animal life. What does a pup amount to that has gained its growth in a few days or weeks, beside a man who only attains it in as many years.
Alexander Graham Bell
One day every major city in America will have a telephone.
Alexander Graham Bell
The only difference between success and failure is the ability to take action.
Alexander Graham Bell
