"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
When One Door Closes Another Opens
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.
About this quote
This quote is widely attributed to Alexander Graham Bell, but the attribution is not supported by any document from his lifetime. The saying circulated anonymously in various forms from at least 1909 and was only linked to Bell in 1935 — thirteen years after his death. A closely related version appears in Helen Keller's 1929 book We Bereaved, making her a stronger candidate for the sentiment.
