Serve

Famous quotes containing the word serve:

    The State, in choosing men to serve it, takes no notice of their opinions. If they be willing faithfully to serve it, that satisfies.
    Oliver Cromwell (1599–1658)

    Now, we deny not, but that politicians may sometimes abuse religion, and make it serve for the promoting of their own private interests and designs; which yet they could not do so well neither, were the thing itself a mere cheat and figment of their own, and had no reality at all in nature, nor anything solid at the bottom of it.
    Ralph J. Cudworth (1617–1688)

    No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.
    Bible: New Testament Jesus, in Matthew, 6:24.

    From the Sermon on the Mount.
