Service Drives

Famous quotes containing the words service and/or drives:

“Human life consists in mutual service. No grief, pain, misfortune, or “broken heart,” is excuse for cutting off one’s life while any power of service remains. But when all usefulness is over, when one is assured of an unavoidable and imminent death, it is the simplest of human rights to choose a quick and easy death in place of a slow and horrible one.”
—Charlotte Perkins Gilman (1860–1935)

“What people do who go into politics I can’t think; it drives me almost mad to see mismanagement over only a few hundred acres.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
