Served

Famous quotes containing the word served:

    All of you young people who served in the war. You are a lost generation.... You have no respect for anything. You drink yourselves to death.
    Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)

    I have served him, and the man commands
    Like a full soldier.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    For, the expectation of gratitude is mean, and is continually punished by the total insensibility of the obliged person. It is a great happiness to get off without injury and heart-burning, from one who has had the ill luck to be served by you. It is a very onerous business, this being served, and the debtor naturally wishes to give you a slap.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
