Famous quotes containing the words commercial and/or service:
“I do seriously believe that if we can measure among the States the benefits resulting from the preservation of the Union, the rebellious States have the larger share.

It opened the way for a commercial life that, if they will only embrace it and face the light, means to them a development that shall rival the best attainments of the greatest of our States.”
—Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
“The Service without Hope

...
There is no Diligence like that
That knows not an Until—”
—Emily Dickinson (1831–1886)
