All of us here are servants of the reading public. I am the head of the servants and I must show that I know better than any of the servants where the materials are found. I want to show that our service here is efficient and that we are really working to serve.

Epifanio de los Santos

Men in great place are thrice servants: servants of the sovereign or state, servants of fame, and servants of business.

Francis Bacon

We call ourselves public servants but I'll tell you this: we as public servants must set an example for the rest of the nation. It is hypocritical for the public official to admonish and exhort the people to uphold the common good.

Barbara Jordan

Voluntary service of others demands the best of which one is capable, and must take precedence over service of self.

Mahatma Gandhi

A very large part of English middle-class education is devoted to the training of servants...In so far as it is, by definition, the training of upper servants, it includes, of course, the instilling of that kind of confidence which will enable the upper servants to supervise and direct the lower servants.

Raymond Williams

Servants honor their master by their service.

Franz Grillparzer

Climbing is a great game-great not in spite of the demands it makes, but because of them. Great because it will not let us give half of ourselves-it demands all of us. It demands our best.

Royal Robbins

Any Ambassador or Foreign Service Officer who has his or her head screwed on right knows that the U.S. position in the world is far more dependent on our ability to compete in world markets.

Lawrence Eagleburger

The highest service that men may attain to on earth is to preach the word of God. This service falls peculiarly to priests, and therefore, God more directly demands it of them.

John Wycliffe

I believe that as public servants, we have a shared goal - to deliver to Americans the service they deserve and expect.

Todd Park

It's one of the secrets of strength: We're so much more likely to find it in the service of others than in service to ourselves.

David Levithan

Labor is service and service is life. And when we serve something more than ourselves, we feel alive.

Tony Robbins

From a purely external point of view there is no will; and to find will in any phenomenon requires a certain empathy; we observe aman's actions and place ourselves partly but not wholly in his position; or we act, and place ourselves partly in the position of an outsider.

T. S. Eliot

What is the reason that women servants ... have much lower wages than men servants ... when in fact our female house servants work much harder than the male?

Samuel Johnson

As far as service goes, it can take the form of a million things. To do service, you don't have to be a doctor working in the slums for free, or become a social worker. Your position in life and what you do doesn't matter as much as how you do what you do.

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

Men in great place are thrice servants; servants of the sovereign state, servants of fame, and servants of business; so as they have no freedom, neither in their persons, nor in their actions, nor in their times. It is a strange desire to seek power and to lose liberty; or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man's self.

John Locke
