Service Boards

Famous quotes containing the words service and/or boards:

“We could not help being struck by the seeming, though innocent, indifference of Nature to these men’s necessities, while elsewhere she was equally serving others. Like a true benefactress, the secret of her service is unchangeableness. Thus is the busiest merchant, though within sight of his Lowell, put to pilgrim’s shifts, and soon comes to staff and scrip and scallop-shell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“These doorsteps seldom have a visitor.
The warping boards pull out their own old nails
With none to tread and put them in their place.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
