State Service

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or service:

“The State must follow, and not lead, the character and progress of the citizen.”

“You had to face your ends when young
‘Twas wine or women, or some curse
But never made a poorer song
That you might have a heavier purse,
Nor gave loud service to a cause
That you might have a troop of friends.”
