Famous quotes containing the words current and/or tests:

    “The English language may hold a more disagreeable combination of words than “The doctor will see you now.” I am willing to concede something to the phrase “Have you anything to say before the current is turned on?””
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    “Letters have to pass two tests before they can be classed as good: they must express the personality both of the writer and of the recipient.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)
