Servants

Famous quotes containing the word servants:

    If all were as it seems, and men made the elements their servants for noble ends!
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    To dine, drink champagne, raise a racket and make speeches about the people’s consciousness, the people’s conscience, freedom and so forth while servants in tails are scurrying around your table, just like serfs, and out in the severe cold on the street await coachmen—this is the same as lying to the holy spirit.
    Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
