Minute Service

Famous quotes containing the words minute and/or service:

“For what but eye and ear silence the mind
With the minute particulars of mankind?”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“We could not help being struck by the seeming, though innocent, indifference of Nature to these men’s necessities, while elsewhere she was equally serving others. Like a true benefactress, the secret of her service is unchangeableness. Thus is the busiest merchant, though within sight of his Lowell, put to pilgrim’s shifts, and soon comes to staff and scrip and scallop-shell.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
