State Service

Famous quotes containing the words state and/or service:

“In his sleeves, which were long,
He had twenty-four packs,—
Which was coming it strong,
Yet I state but the facts;
And we found on his nails, which were taper,
What is frequent in tapers,—that’s wax.”
—Bret Harte (1836–1902)

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