Alexander Graham Bell quotes
"Mr. Watson — Come here — I want to see you."
"Night is a more quiet time to work. It aids thought."
"You cannot force ideas. Successful ideas are the result of slow growth."
"America is a country of inventors, and the greatest of inventors are the newspaper men."
"The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion."
"A man, as a general rule, owes very little to what he is born with - a man is what he makes of himself."
"Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus."
"Don't keep forever on the public road. Leave the beaten track behind occasionally and dive into the woods."
"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."
"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."
"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. That intellectuality is more vigorous that has attained its strength gradually. 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."
