Famous quotes containing the words wider, interests, public and/or service:

    “The Brain—is wider than the Sky—
    For—put them side by side—
    The one the other will contain
    With ease—and You—beside—”
    —Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)

    “... there is nothing more irritating to a feminist than the average “Woman’s Page” of a newspaper, with its out-dated assumption that all women have a common trade interest in the household arts, and a common leisure interest in clothes and the doings of “high society.” Women’s interests to-day are as wide as the world.”
    —Crystal Eastman (1881–1928)

    “The public is a hibernating bear, hard to awaken and fond of honey.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom.”
    —Sun Tzu (6th–5th century B.C.)
