Famous quotes containing the words pacific and/or service:

    It is easier to sail many thousand miles through cold and storm and cannibals, in a government ship, with five hundred men and boys to assist one, than it is to explore the private sea, the Atlantic and Pacific Ocean of one’s being alone.... It is not worth the while to go round the world to count the cats in Zanzibar.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    O good old man, how well in thee appears
    The constant service of the antique world,
    When service sweat for duty, not for meed!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
