Famous quotes containing the word service:

    “This was a great point gained; the archdeacon would certainly not come to morning service at Westminster Abbey, even though he were in London; and here the warden could rest quietly, and, when the time came, duly say his prayers.”
    —Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

    “Books can only reveal us to ourselves, and as often as they do us this service we lay them aside.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it NOW deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.”
    —Thomas Paine (1737–1809)
