Famous quotes containing the words active and/or service:

    “If church prelates, past or present, had even an inkling of physiology they’d realise that what they term this inner ugliness creates and nourishes the hearing ear, the seeing eye, the active mind, and energetic body of man and woman, in the same way that dirt and dung at the roots give the plant its delicate leaves and the full-blown rose.”
    —Sean O’Casey (1884–1964)

    “The Service without Hope
    Is tenderest, I think—
    ...
    There is no Diligence like that
    That knows not an Until—”
    —Emily Dickinson (1831–1886)
