Country Office

Famous quotes containing the words country and/or office:

“If we are marked to die, we are enough
To do our country loss; and if to live,
The fewer men, the greater share of honour.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“Even the utmost goodwill and harmony and practical kindness are not sufficient for Friendship, for Friends do not live in harmony merely, as some say, but in melody. We do not wish for Friends to feed and clothe our bodies,—neighbors are kind enough for that,—but to do the like office to our spirits. For this few are rich enough, however well disposed they may be.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
