Matthew Wrote

Famous quotes containing the words matthew and/or wrote:

    ...the heirs of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
    Bible: New Testament, Matthew 8:12.

    It is possible that the telephone has been responsible for more business inefficiency than any other agency except laudanum.... In the old days when you wanted to get in touch with a man you wrote a note, sprinkled it with sand, and gave it to a man on horseback. It probably was delivered within half an hour, depending on how big a lunch the horse had had. But in these busy days of rush-rush-rush, it is sometimes a week before you can catch your man on the telephone.
    Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
