Service Bound

Famous quotes containing the words service and/or bound:

    Books can only reveal us to ourselves, and as often as they do us this service we lay them aside.

    When I received this [coronation] ring I solemnly bound myself in marriage to the realm; and it will be quite sufficient for the memorial of my name and for my glory, if, when I die, an inscription be engraved on a marble tomb, saying, “Here lieth Elizabeth, which reigned a virgin, and died a virgin.”
    Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
