Dispatch is the soul of business.

Lord Chesterfield

Talk of nothing but business, and dispatch that business quickly.

Aldus Manutius

No two things differ more than hurry and dispatch. Hurry is the mark of a weak mind, dispatch of a strong one. A weak man in office, like a squirrel in a cage, is laboring eternally, but to no purpose, and is in constant motion without getting on a job; like a turnstile, he is in everybody's way, but stops nobody; he talks a great deal, but says very little; looks into everything but sees nothing; and has a hundred irons in the fire, but very few of them are hot, and with those few that are, he only burns his fingers.

Charles Caleb Colton

The soul of dispatch is decision.

William Hazlitt

The Pulitzer Prize was established when Joseph Pulitzer died in 1911, leaving a bequest to create the eponymous award. An immigrant from Hungary, Pulitzer struck it rich by combining the 'St. Louis Post' and the 'St. Louis Dispatch' to make the - wait for it - 'St. Louis Post-Dispatch.'

I thank the Prime Minister for his remarks about me. Debating with him at the Dispatch Box has been exciting, fascinating, fun, an enormous challenge and, from my point of view, wholly unproductive in every sense. I am told that in my time at the Dispatch Box I have asked the Prime Minister 1,118 direct questions, but no one has counted the direct answers-it may not take long.

William Hague

Cecil's dispatch of business was extraordinary, his maxim being, "The shortest way to do many things is to do only one thing at once."

Samuel Smiles

Hurry n: The dispatch of bunglers.

Ambrose Bierce

Hurry is the mark of a weak mind, dispatch of a strong one.

Charles Caleb Colton

Tardiness often robs us opportunity, and the dispatch of our forces.

Niccolo Machiavelli

Every couple of years, we could dispatch people from Earth to Mars.

Buzz Aldrin

All the angels in the whole universe care about you; and if God wants to dispatch them all, He can do it.

David Jeremiah

When I was a kid I believed everything I was told, everything I read, and every dispatch sent out by my own overheated imagination. This made for more than a few sleepless nights, but it also filled the world I lived in with colors and textures I would not have traded for a lifetime of restful nights.

Stephen King

The post-office is a wonderful establishment! The regularity and dispatch of it! If one thinks of all that it has to do, and all that it does so well, it is really astonishing!

Jane Austen

If you know that a thing is unrighteous, then use all dispatch in putting an end to it--why wait till next year?

Mencius

Appellant constituted a legitimate class of one, and this provides a basis for Congress's decision to proceed with dispatch with respect to his materials.

William J. Brennan, Jr.
