Superior Service

Famous quotes containing the words superior and/or service:

“The words which express our faith and piety are not definite; yet they are significant and fragrant like frankincense to superior natures.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

“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)
