The telephone is the proverb

 The telephone is the greatest single enemy of scholarship; for what our intellectual forebears used to inscribe in ink now goes once over a wire into permanent oblivion

 Our American forebears included Cotton Mather and Oliver Wolcott, who signed the Declaration of Independence, and we were told that a strong wire of character stretched from them through all generations of our family.

 However great an intellectual may be, however great one may be as a scholar or a man of learning, one has also to acquire humanness. Without humanness, scholarship and intellectual eminence are of no value.
  Sri Sathya Sai Baba

 It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement; the greatest source of visual beauty; the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.

 What we have now is terrible. Just a thin telephone wire with a speaker phone attached to it.

 The greatest concern when you've had success is losing your perspective, ... I always tell people, 'I have seen the enemy, and the enemy is us.'

 The greatest friend of truth is Time, her greatest enemy is Prejudice, and her constant companion is Humility

 Railroads had been operating for many years in this country before it dawned upon the farmers that this great improvement, which many had hailed as his greatest friend, might be his greatest enemy.

 This merger will allow us to move to a single brand for wire line, for wireless, for business and consumer, and that's AT&T. A single brand is much more cost-efficient and far more effective.

 ...Oblivion will still work on every 360. That being said, Oblivion takes full advantage of the hard drive and uses it extensively, so we'd certainly recommend that everyone gets one.

 So build a statue and oh build it high so the world can see then inscribe 'the world's greatest fool' and name it after me.

 Just because fish are there doesn't mean the platform constitutes habitat. That's like taking a picture of birds on a telephone wire and saying it's essential habitat.

 It takes about eight minutes from us stepping outside of the wire and getting across the street to the time that we start receiving contact from the enemy.

 Know that you are your greatest enemy, but also your greatest friend.
  Jeremy Taylor

 [Law is] an odd profession that presents its greatest scholarship in student-run publications.
