Famous quotes containing the words service and/or station:

    “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)

    “Say first, of God above, or Man below,
    What can we reason, but from what we know?
    Of Man what see we, but his station here,
    From which to reason, or to which refer?
    Thro’ worlds unnumber’d tho’ the God be known,
    ‘Tis ours to trace him only in our own.
    ”
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
