Civil Service Affairs

Famous quotes containing the words civil, service and/or affairs:

“When civil fury first grew high,
And men fell out, they knew not why;
When hard words, jealousies, and fears,
Set folks together by the ears,
And made them fight, like mad or drunk,
For Dame Religion, as for punk;”
—Samuel Butler (1612–1680)

The constant service of the antique world,
When service sweat for duty, not for meed!”
