Famous quotes containing the words public and/or servant:
“If we should swap a good library for a second-rate stump speech and not ask for boot, it would be thoroughly in tune with our hearts. For deep within each of us lies politics. It is our football, baseball, and tennis rolled into one. We enjoy it; we will hitch up and drive for miles in order to hear and applaud the vitriolic phrases of a candidate we have already reckoned well vote against.”
—Federal Writers Project Of The Wor, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“He who doesnt know how to be a servant should never be allowed to be a master; the interests of public life are alien to anyone who is unable to enjoy others successes, and such a person should never be entrusted with public affairs.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (18601904)
