Alexander Graham Bell
The great advantage [the telephone] possesses over every other form of electrical apparatus consists in the fact that it requires no skill to operate the instrument.
Alexander Graham Bell
Leave the beaten track behind occasionally and dive into the woods. Every time you do you will be certain to find something you have never seen before.
Alexander Graham Bell
There are two critical points in every aerial flight-its beginning and its end.
Alexander Graham Bell
Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.
Alexander Graham Bell
The only difference between success and failure is the ability to take action.
Alexander Graham Bell
America is a country of inventors, and the greatest of inventors are the newspaper men.
Alexander Graham Bell
Leave the beaten track behind occasionally and dive into the woods.
Alexander Graham Bell
The final result of our researches has widened the class of substances sensitive to light vibrations, until we can propound the fact of such sensitiveness being a general property of all matter.
