Famous quotes containing the words youth, service and/or america:

    I’ve never understood why people consider youth a time of freedom and joy. It’s probably because they have forgotten their own.
    Margaret Atwood (b. 1939)

    We could not help being struck by the seeming, though innocent, indifference of Nature to these men’s necessities, while elsewhere she was equally serving others. Like a true benefactress, the secret of her service is unchangeableness. Thus is the busiest merchant, though within sight of his Lowell, put to pilgrim’s shifts, and soon comes to staff and scrip and scallop-shell.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Elvis’ disappearing body is like a flashing event horizon at the edge of the black hole that is America today.
    Arthur Kroker (b. 1945)
