French Service

Famous quotes containing the words french and/or service:

    Then a sentimental passion of a vegetable fashion must excite your
    languid spleen,
    An attachment a la Plato for a bashful young potato, or a
    not-too-French French bean!
    Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    The man of large and conspicuous public service in civil life must be content without the Presidency. Still more, the availability of a popular man in a doubtful State will secure him the prize in a close contest against the first statesman of the country whose State is safe.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
