Servant

Famous quotes containing the word servant:

“But there’s another knowledge that my heart destroys
As the fox in the old fable destroyed the Spartan boy’s
Because it proves that things both can and cannot be;
That the swordsmen and the ladies can still keep company;
Can pay the poet for a verse and hear the fiddle sound,
That I am still their servant though all are underground.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“He who is not a good servant will not be a good master.”
—Plato (c. 427–347 B.C.)

“While I play the good husband at home, my son and his servant spend all at the university.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
