Scribe Wrote

Famous quotes containing the words scribe and/or wrote:

““Our earth is degenerate in these latter days. Bribery and corruption are common. Children no longer obey their parents. . . . The end of the world is evidently approaching.” Sound familiar? It is, in fact, the lament of a scribe in one of the earliest inscriptions to be unearthed in Mesopotamia, where Western civilization was born.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)

“Above all, he possessed a hearty good-will to all men, and never wrote a cross or even careless word.”
