Famous quotes containing the words service and/or history:

    “Finally, your lengthy service ended,
    Lay your weariness beneath my laurel tree.”
    —Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8)

    “If usually the “present age” is no very long time, still, at our pleasure, or in the service of some such unity of meaning as the history of civilization, or the study of geology, may suggest, we may conceive the present as extending over many centuries, or over a hundred thousand years.”
    —Josiah Royce (1855–1916)
