Served

Famous quotes containing the word served:

    “By metaphor you paint
    A thing. Thus, the pineapple was a leather fruit,
    A fruit for pewter, thorned and palmed and blue,
    To be served by men of ice.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “The little I know of it has not served to raise my opinion of what is vulgarly called the “Monied Interest;” I mean, that blood-sucker, that muckworm, that calls itself “the friend of government.””
    —William, Earl Of Pitt (1708–1778)

    “Nothing in nature is exhausted in its first use. When a thing has served an end to the uttermost, it is wholly new for an ulterior service. In God, every end is converted into new means.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
