MADRID, 2 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) –
This August 2 marks the 101th anniversary of the death, in 1922, of Alexander Graham Bell, father of modern telecommunications considered the inventor of the telephone for 120 years, until Antonio Meucci was recognized as such.
American naturalized inventor, born in Scotland in 1847, he also contributed to aviation technology — he conceived the hydrofoil — and to the treatment of hearing and speech disorders. He left numerous famous quotes for history. Here we select seven.
– “A man, as a rule, owes very little to what he was born with: man is what he makes of himself.”
– “Concentrate all your thoughts on the work at hand. The sun’s rays do not burn until they are brought to a focus.”
– “Man is an animal that, alone among animals, refuses to be satisfied by the fulfillment of animal desires.”
– “First of all, preparation is the key to success.”
– “The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of constant accretion.”
– “America is a country of inventors, and the greatest inventors are the men of the press.”
– “The nation that secures control of the air will ultimately control the world.”
