Famous quotes containing the words commercial and/or service:
“From a commercial point of view, if Christmas did not exist it would be necessary to invent it.”
—Katharine Whitehorn (b. 1926)
“A man’s real faith is never contained in his creed, nor is his creed an article of his faith. The last is never adopted. This it is that permits him to smile ever, and to live even as bravely as he does. And yet he clings anxiously to his creed, as to a straw, thinking that that does him good service because his sheet anchor does not drag.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
