Freight Services

Famous quotes containing the words freight and/or services:
“These have been wonderful years. How many happy, happy times we have traveled about together!

The work was sometimes hard and discouraging but those were happy and useful years.”
—Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
“True love ennobles and dignifies the material labors of life; and homely services rendered for love’s sake have in them a poetry that is immortal.”
—Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811–1896)
