Special Delivery Service

Famous quotes containing the words special, delivery and/or service:

    ‘I mean to retire, where
    Nobody will have heard about my special skills
    And conversation is mainly about the wearther.
    —Eiléan Ní ChuilleanĂ¡in (b.1942)

    There was no speculation so promising, or at the same time so praisworthy, as the United Metropolitan Improved Hot Muffin and Crumpet Baking and Punctual Delivery Company.
    Charles Dickens (1812–1870)

    His character as one of the fathers of the English language would alone make his works important, even those which have little poetical merit. He was as simple as Wordsworth in preferring his homely but vigorous Saxon tongue, when it was neglected by the court, and had not yet attained to the dignity of a literature, and rendered a similar service to his country to that which Dante rendered to Italy.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
