Park Service

Famous quotes containing the words park and/or service:

    Linnæus, setting out for Lapland, surveys his “comb” and “spare shirt,” “leathern breeches” and “gauze cap to keep off gnats,” with as much complacency as Bonaparte a park of artillery for the Russian campaign. The quiet bravery of the man is admirable.

    The gods’ service is tolerable, man’s intolerable.
