Servant

Famous quotes containing the word servant:

    The beaux and the babies, the servant troubles, and the social aspirations of the other girls seemed to me superficial. My work did not. I was professional. I could earn my own money, or I could be fired if I were inefficient. It was something to get your teeth into. It was living.
    Edna Woolman Chase (1877–1957)

    The mother as a social servant instead of a home servant will not lack in true mother duty.... From her work, loved and honored though it is, she will return to her home life, the child life, with an eager, ceaseless pleasure, cleansed of all the fret and fraction and weariness that so mar it now.
    Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935)

    Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has looked favorably on his people and redeemed them.
    He has raised up a mighty savior for us
    in the house of his servant David,
    as he spoke through the mouth of his holy prophets from of old...
    Bible: New Testament, Luke 1:68-70.
