Famous quotes containing the words time and/or served:
“The inmost in due time becomes the outmost.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“For, the expectation of gratitude is mean, and is continually punished by the total insensibility of the obliged person. It is a great happiness to get off without injury and heart-burning, from one who has had the ill luck to be served by you. It is a very onerous business, this being served, and the debtor naturally wishes to give you a slap.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
