I know it exists . . .

Today is the birthday of Alexander Graham Bell (March 3, 1847 - August 2, 1922), scientist, inventor and a founding member of the National Geographic Society.

"“When one door closes, another opens; but we often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.” - Alexander Graham Bell

“What this power is I cannot say; all I know is that it exists and it becomes available only when a man is in that state of mind in which he knows exactly what he wants and is fully determined not to quit until he finds it.” - Alexander Graham Bell

"Leave the beaten track occasionally and dive into the woods. Every time you do so you will find something you have never seen before. Follow it up, explore around it, and before you know it, you will have something to think about to occupy your mind. All really big discoveries are the result of thought." - Alexander Graham Bell

"Before anything else, preparation is the key to success." - Alexander Graham Bell
