Service Show Host

Famous quotes containing the words service, show and/or host:

    O good old man, how well in thee appears
    The constant service of the antique world,
    When service sweat for duty, not for meed!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    If you were born to honor, show it now;
    If put upon you, make the judgment good
    That thought you worthy of it.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Carlyle’s works, it is true, have not the stereotyped success which we call classic. They are a rich but inexpensive entertainment, at which we are not concerned lest the host has strained or impoverished himself to feed his guests. It is not the most lasting word, nor the loftiest wisdom, but rather the word which comes last.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
