Famous quotes containing the words service and/or record:
“The Service without Hope
Is tenderest, I think
...
There is no Diligence like that
That knows not an Until”
—Emily Dickinson (18311886)
“Not marble nor the gilded monuments
Of princes shall outlive this powerful rime;
But you shall shine more bright in these contents
Than unswept stone, besmeared with sluttish time.
When wasteful war shall statues overturn,
And broils root out the work of masonry,
Nor Mars his sword nor wars quick fire shall burn
The living record of your memory.”
—William Shakespeare (15641616)
