Famous quotes containing the words war and/or service:

    “Haven’t you heard, though,
    About the ships where war has found them out
    At sea, about the towns where war has come
    Through opening clouds at night with droning speed
    Further o’erhead than all but stars and angels
    And children in the ships and in the towns?”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “Let the good service of well-deservers be never rewarded with loss. Let their thanks be such as may encourage more strivers for the like.”
    —Elizabeth I (1533–1603)
