About this quote

This sentiment is commonly attributed to Alexander Graham Bell, but no primary source has been located in his letters, lectures, or published writings. Bell was known for unconventional thinking — he pursued kite designs, hydrofoil boats, and other projects outside telephony — and the spirit of the saying aligns with his career. It remains an unverified attribution.
