Famous quotes containing the words people and/or service:
“You can’t put fourteen hundred people out of work because the world has a stomach ache.”
—Fredric M. Frank (1911–1977)
“Human life consists in mutual service. No grief, pain, misfortune, or “broken heart,” is excuse for cutting off one’s life while any power of service remains. But when all usefulness is over, when one is assured of an unavoidable and imminent death, it is the simplest of human rights to choose a quick and easy death in place of a slow and horrible one.”
—Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935)
