More quotes by Alexander Graham Bell
Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.
Alexander Graham Bell
I have had the feeling that a properly constructed flying-machine should be capable of being flown as a kite and conversely, that a properly constructed kite should be capable of use as a flying-machine when driven by its own propellers.
Alexander Graham Bell
Wherever you may find the inventor, you may give him wealth or you may take from him all that he has and he will go on inventing. He can no more help inventing that he can help thinking or breathing.
Alexander Graham Bell
The nation that secures control of the air will ultimately control the world.
Alexander Graham Bell
Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds.
Alexander Graham Bell
God has strewn our paths with wonders and we certainly should not go through life with our eyes shut

Night is a more quiet time to work. It aids thought.
Alexander Graham Bell
We are all too much inclined, I think, to walk through life with our eyes shut. There are things all round us and right at our very feet that we have never seen, because we have never really looked.
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
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
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
Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.
Alexander Graham Bell
With every door that closes a new one opens.
Alexander Graham Bell
Leave the beaten track behind occasionally and dive into the woods.
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
Ordinary people who know nothing of phonetics or elocution have difficulties in understanding slow speech composed of perfect sounds, while they have no difficulty in comprehending an imperfect gabble if only the accent and rhythm are natural.
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
Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing that we see too late the one that is open.
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
