- I have heard several times a quote that goes something like this:
-
- "There is nothing so practical as a good theory"
-
- Can anyone tell me the source, and also the exact original wording if
- that is not it? We suspect that is was Alexander Graham Bell or Thomas
- Edison or some such person.
-
- Thanks in advance!
