Our growth relies solely on our users suggesting to their friends to download and use Telegram.

Few people outside the Telegram fan community realize that most of the new features in messaging appear on Telegram first, and are then carbon-copied by WhatsApp down to the tiniest details.

One thing Telegram does is make mass surveillance impossible.

I hope Telegram will be able to rely on the community even more than VK since it's a non-profit project that hopefully will be able to attract people who share the idea behind it.

We found letters at the house we bought from a sailor to his wife who lived in the house. He went down to the Caribbean on this trader vessel, bringing down salted fish. There would be handwritten letters, but also telegrams, saying which ports he was in. And he'd be gone for three months. That was just the way it is.

When I was 15 and starting my first job as a messenger boy at the post office, delivering telegrams.

I remember I had an actor friend - a close friend from college - Anthony Zerbe. He sent me a telegram before I started my first movie, 'Cisco Pike.' It said, 'Have a good time. Ignore the camera.' That was the extent of my training.

When an actor has money, he doesn't send letters, but telegrams.

I love the romance of the '40s. It was the perfect time to live. Technology wasn't so advanced that it made life more difficult, but it was just enough that you can send a phone call or a telegram. And people still took pride in how they looked. The men got dressed up and the women got dressed up and they took care of themselves.

The first thing that we wanted to make clear is that nobody has to trust anybody. We don't take people's trust for Telegram for granted.

During the 1937 congressional election campaign, Johnson's group probably paid $5,000 to Elliott Roosevelt, one of Franklin Roosevelt's sons, for a telegram in which Elliott suggested that the Roosevelt family favored Lyndon Johnson.

It is important that people support prisoners of the Italian state like Joe in whatever way they can. I was not allowed contact with a lawyer for the first 24 hours, and no phone calls were permitted, but apparently telegrams have been getting through to Joe.

I realized I don't have a safe means of communications. That's how Telegram started.

Telegram's popularity is spread evenly across continents. We have a substantial user base in Spain, Italy, Netherlands and Germany. Also in Brazil, Mexico and Guatemala in Latin America, India, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq and Uzbekistan, across Asia.

In America they started to refer to Telegram as 'ISIS's preferred messaging app,' But in reality there are many more legitimate users.

ISIS' key social media-encrypted platform is Telegram, which is engineered by a Berlin-based tech company that can simply ignore the rulings of American federal judges as well as legislation passed by the U.S. Congress.

I think there are telegrams that may or may not be available, which indicated that I very much had in mind the need to give Europe substantial aid after the war, after Lend-Lease was over.

A man never feels more important than when he receives a telegram containing more than ten words.

At Telegram we enjoy the luxury of not having to care about income streams or advertising.

I foresee the day when we shall read nothing but telegrams and prayers.
