Famous quotes containing the words service and/or quality:

    “In the service of Caesar, everything is legitimate.”
    —Pierre Corneille (1606–1684)

    “I am not naturally ... “A bag of wind”; yet ... I mean deliberately and decidedly “to cut” in future all my old ideas on this head. I don’t think modesty “pays.” It is a good quality in a family, it is a domestic virtue, it makes a home happy after you have got a home, but it is not potent in getting homes. It is not a money-maker, neither is it lucky in gaining a reputation. I am of the impression that gaseous bodies do better.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
