Famous quotes containing the word service:

    “Television could perform a great service in mass education, but there’s no indication its sponsors have anything like this on their minds.”
    —Tallulah Bankhead (1903–1968)

    “Mr. Speaker, at a time when the nation is again confronted with necessity for calling its young men into service in the interests of National Security, I cannot see the wisdom of denying our young women the opportunity to serve their country.”
    —Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    “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)
