A man, as a general rule, owes very little to what he is born with - a man is what he makes of himself.

Alexander Graham Bell 68 quotes

America is a country of inventors, and the greatest of inventors are the newspaper men.

Alexander Graham Bell 68 quotes

Great discoveries and improvem...

Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds. I may be given credit for having blazed the trail, but when I look at the subsequent developments I feel the credit is due to others rather than to myself.

The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion.

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 68 quotes

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 68 quotes

Don't keep forever on the publ...

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 68 quotes

Leave the beaten track behind occasionally and dive into the woods.

Alexander Graham Bell 68 quotes

The most successful men in the...

The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion... It is the man who carefully advances step by step, with his mind becoming wider and wider - and progressively better able to grasp any theme or situation - persevering in what he knows to be practical, and concentrating his thought upon it, who is bound to succeed in the greatest degree.

What this power is, I cannot say... All I know is that it exists.

Alexander Graham Bell 68 quotes

Don't keep forever on the publ...

Don't keep forever on the public road, going only where others have gone. Leave the beaten track occasionally and dive into the woods. You will be certain to find something you have never seen before. Of course it will be a little thing, but do not ignore it. One discovery will lead to another, and before you know it, you will have something worth thinking about to occupy your mind, and really big discoveries are the result of thought.

Alexander Graham Bell 68 quotes

I have heard articulate speech produced by sunlight I have heard a ray of the sun laugh and cough and sing! I have been able to hear a shadow, and I have even perceived by ear the passage of a cloud across the sun's disk.

Grand telegraphic discovery today Transmitted vocal sounds for the first time ... With some further modification I hope we may be enabled to distinguish the 'timbreЂќ of the sound. Should this be so, conversation viva voce by telegraph will be a fait accompli.

Man is an animal which, alone ...

Man is an animal which, alone among the animals, refuses to be satisfied by the fulfillment of animal desires.

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.

There are two critical points in every aerial flight-its beginning and its end.

When one door closes, another one opens.
