Famous quotes containing the words service and/or letters:

    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)

    If your letters are as long as the bible, they will appear short to me. Only let them be brim full of affection.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
