Famous quotes containing the words serving, full and/or time:
“A chaplain is the minister of the Prince of Peace serving the host of the God of WarMars. As such, he is as incongruous as a musket would be on the altar at Christmas. Why, then, is he there? Because he indirectly subserves the purpose attested by the cannon; because too he lends the sanction of the religion of the meek to that which practically is the abrogation of everything but brute Force.”
—Herman Melville (18191891)
“Much of a mans character will be found betokened in his backbone. I would rather feel your spine than your skull, whoever you are. A thin joist of a spine never yet upheld a full and noble soul.”
—Herman Melville (18191891)
“Manys the time Ive seen Barney go off, just that same way. Goodbye. Sometimes hed wave. Ten to one he wasnt even seein me. He was thinkin about all those men, you see. All those men who went out to fight, to kill, be killed. And blast his eyes, lovin it.”
—Lamar Trotti (18981952)
