Famous quotes containing the words full, service and/or services:

    Bodies of holy men and women exude
    Miraculous oil, odour of violet.

    Their shrouds are bloody and their lips are wet.

    Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    A good marriage ... is a sweet association in life: full of constancy, trust, and an infinite number of useful and solid services and mutual obligations.
