Alexander Graham Bell

The most important thing in life is to have a great aim and the determination to attain it.

The only way to succeed is to have a definite plan and then to work on it.

I have had the feeling that the telephone was a thing of the future, and that it would be a great thing, but I never realized that it would be the great thing that it is.

The telegraph and the telephone are doing more than any other agencies to bring the peoples of the earth together.

The air is an ocean, and the machines that will sail upon it are coming.

We are all pupils of the great teacher, Experience.

The distance of the stars is no greater than the thoughts of men.

The true teacher defends his pupils against his own personal influence.

It is not the possession of truth, but the success which attends the seeking after it, that enriches the seeker and brings happiness to him.

The man who is swimming against the stream knows the strength of it.
