Famous quotes containing the words command and/or service:

    “I, who should command a regiment,
    Do amble amiably here, O God,
    One of the neat ones in your awkward squad.”
    —Norman Cameron (b. 1905)

    “This was a great point gained; the archdeacon would certainly not come to morning service at Westminster Abbey, even though he were in London; and here the warden could rest quietly, and, when the time came, duly say his prayers.”
    —Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
