Famous quotes containing the word service:

    “O good old man, how well in thee appears
    The constant service of the antique world,
    When service sweat for duty, not for meed!”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “The ruin of the human heart is self-interest, which the American merchant calls self-service. We have become a self- service populace, and all our specious comforts—the automatic elevator, the escalator, the cafeteria—are depriving us of volition and moral and physical energy.”
    —Edward Dahlberg (1900–1977)
