Arouse in the other person an eager want. He who can do this has the whole world with him. He who cannot walks a lonely way. - Dale Carnegie
Morse conquered his electrical difficulties although he was only a painter, and I don't intend to give in either till all is completed. - Alexander Graham Bell
My knowledge of electrical subjects was not acquired in a methodical manner but was picked up from such books as I could get hold of and from such experiments as I could make with my own hands. - Alexander Graham Bell
Neither the Army nor the Navy is of any protection, or very little protection, against aerial raids. - 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
Sometimes we stare so long at a door that is closing that we see too late the one that is open. - Alexander Graham Bell
Such a chimerical idea as telegraphing vocal sounds would indeed, to most minds, seem scarcely feasible enough to spend time in working over. I believe, however, that it is feasible and that I have got the cue to the solution of the problem. - Alexander Graham Bell
The day will come when the man at the telephone will be able to see the distant person to whom he is speaking. - Alexander Graham Bell
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. - 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
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

Watson, ... if I can get a mechanism which will make a current of electricity vary in its intensity, as the air varies in density when a sound is passing through it, I can telegraph any sound, even the sound of speech. - 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
