Famous quotes containing the words defence and/or services:

    “Education must have two foundations—morality as a support for virtue, prudence as a defence for self against the vices of others. By letting the balance incline to the side of morality, you only make dupes or martyrs; by letting it incline to the other, you make calculating egoists.”
    —Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)

    “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)
