Famous quotes containing the words quality of, quality and/or service:

    Gaiety—a quality of ordinary men. Genius always presupposes some disorder in the machine.
    Denis Diderot (1713–1784)

    I have every characteristic of a night person—a distaste for bosses, a hatred of the expected, an obsession with gaining an ultimately nonexistent freedom—every quality except one. I can’t stay awake after a while. I fall asleep.
    John Bowers (b. 1928)

    We could not help being struck by the seeming, though innocent, indifference of Nature to these men’s necessities, while elsewhere she was equally serving others. Like a true benefactress, the secret of her service is unchangeableness. Thus is the busiest merchant, though within sight of his Lowell, put to pilgrim’s shifts, and soon comes to staff and scrip and scallop-shell.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
