Famous quotes containing the words service and/or record:
“I can counterfeit the deep tragedian,
Speak, and look back, and pry on every side,
Tremble and start at wagging of a straw,
Intending deep suspicion. Ghastly looks
Are at my service like enforced smiles,
And both are ready in their offices
At any time to grace my stratagems.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“One foot in each great ocean
Is a record stride or stretch.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
