Service Quotations
The road to perdition has ever been accompanied by lip service to an ideal.
Albert Einstein
Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.
Muhammad Ali
The taxpayer - that's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.
Ronald Reagan
A young man who does not have what it takes to perform military service is not likely to have what it takes to make a living. Today's military rejects include tomorrow's hard-core unemployed.
John F. Kennedy
Design is the fundamental soul of a man-made creation that ends up expressing itself in successive outer layers of the product or service. The iMac is not just the color or translucence or the shape of the shell. The essence of the iMac is to be the finest possible consumer computer in which each element plays together.
Steve Jobs
I do not know what the spirit of a philosopher could more wish to be than a good dancer. For the dance is his ideal, also his fine art, finally also the only kind of piety he knows, his "divine service."
Friedrich Nietzsche
Man can never be a woman's equal in the spirit of selfless service with which nature has endowed her.
Mahatma Gandhi
The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
Mahatma Gandhi
Service which is rendered without joy helps neither the servant nor the served. But all other pleasures and possessions pale into nothingness before service which is rendered in a spirit of joy.
Mahatma Gandhi
I have worshipped woman as the living embodiment of the spirit of service and sacrifice.
Mahatma Gandhi
