Famous quotes containing the words service and/or withdrawn:
“O good old man, how well in thee appears
The constant service of the antique world,
When service sweat for duty, not for meed!”

“I had withdrawn so far within the great ocean of solitude, into which the rivers of society empty, that for the most part, so far as my needs were concerned, only the finest sediment was deposited around me. Beside, there were wafted to me evidences of unexplored and uncultivated continents on the other side.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
