Famous quotes containing the words service and/or uniform:

    “But when with moving accents thou
    Shalt constant faith and service vow,
    Thy Celia shall receive those charms
    With open ears, and with unfolded arms.”
    —Thomas Carew (1589–1639)

    “Thus for each blunt-faced ignorant one
    The great grey rigid uniform combined
    Safety with virtue of the sun.
    Thus concepts linked like chainmail in the mind.”
    —Thom Gunn (b. 1929)
