    The clog of all pleasure, the luggage of life,
    Is the best can be said for a very good wife.
    John Wilmot, Earl Of Rochester (1647–1680)

    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)

    Attending upon a prince is as dangerous as keeping company with a tiger.
    Chinese proverb.
