Famous quotes containing the words fire and/or services:

    Rumble thy bellyful! Spit, fire! Spout, rain!
    Nor rain, wind, thunder, fire are my daughters.
    I tax you not, you elements, with unkindness;
    I never gave you kingdom, called you children.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    O, the difference of man and man!
    To thee a woman’s services are due.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
