Famous quotes containing the word service:

    “The general who advances without coveting fame and retreats without fearing disgrace, whose only thought is to protect his country and do good service for his sovereign, is the jewel of the kingdom.”
    —Sun Tzu (6th–5th century B.C.)

    “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)

    “We have in the service the scum of the earth as common soldiers.”
    —Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke Wellington (1769–1852)
