Famous quotes containing the word days:
“Be careful then how you live, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil.”
—Bible: New Testament, Ephesians 5:15-16.
“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)
