State Service

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or service:

“Our citizenship in the United States is our national character. Our citizenship in any particular state is only our local distinction. By the latter we are known at home, by the former to the world. Our great title is AMERICANS—our inferior one varies with the place.”
—Thomas Paine (1737–1809)

“Old books that have ceased to be of service should no more be abandoned than should old friends who have ceased to give pleasure.”
