Famous quotes containing the words armed, services and/or committee:

    “A woman’s beauty is a storm-tossed banner;
    Under it wisdom stands, and I alone
    Of all Arabia’s lovers I alone
    Nor dazzled by the embroidery, nor lost
    In the confusion of its night-dark folds,
    Can hear the armed man speak.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “Those services which the community will most readily pay for, it is most disagreeable to render.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “A committee is organic rather than mechanical in its nature: it is not a structure but a plant. It takes root and grows, it flowers, wilts, and dies, scattering the seed from which other committees will bloom in their turn.”
    —C. Northcote Parkinson (1909–1993)
