Alexander Graham Bell

The telephone may be used to talk to the dead, and the dead may be used to talk to the living.

Don't keep forever on the public road, going only where others have gone, and following the ruts of conventionality. Leave the beaten track occasionally and dive into the woods. Every time you do so, you will be certain to find something that you have never seen before.

Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds.

The only difference between success and failure is the ability to take action.

Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus.

The deaf must hear, the dumb must speak, the blind must see.

I have been called a robber. I have been called a thief. I have been called a charlatan. I have even been called a murderer. But I have never been called a liar.

The day will come when the telephone will be used by every household in America.

Man is an animal who is constantly striving to rise to a higher altitude.

Leave the beaten track occasionally and dive into the woods. Every time you do so you will be certain to find something that you have never seen before.

The invention of the telephone was the result of long and patient investigation.

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

Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.

The greatest minds are capable of the greatest vices as well as of the greatest virtues.

The telephone is a scientific toy.

Every man has a right to his own opinion, but no man has a right to be wrong in his facts.

The only way to do great work is to love what you do.

There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.

The nation that secures control of the air will ultimately control the world.

The deaf are not a race apart. They are a part of humanity.
