Famous quotes containing the words security and/or service:

    ... most Southerners of my parents’ era were raised to feel that it wasn’t respectable to be rich. We felt that all patriotic Southerners had lost everything in defense of the South, and sufficient time hadn’t elapsed for respectable rebuilding of financial security in a war- impoverished region.
    Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 1, ch. 1 (1962)

    Our chief want in life, is, someone who shall make us do what we can. This is the service of a friend. With him we are easily great.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
