Famous quotes containing the words service and/or history:

    Service ... is love in action, love “made flesh”; service is the body, the incarnation of love. Love is the impetus, service the act, and creativity the result with many by-products.
    Sarah Patton Boyle, U.S. civil rights activist and author. The Desegregated Heart, part 3, ch. 3 (1962)

    The reverence for the Scriptures is an element of civilization, for thus has the history of the world been preserved, and is preserved.
