Servants

Famous quotes containing the word servants:

    The best servants of the people, like the best valets, must whisper unpleasant truths in the master’s ear. It is the court fool, not the foolish courtier, whom the king can least afford to lose.
    Walter Lippmann (1889–1974)

    We teachers can only help the work going on, as servants wait upon a master.
    Maria Montessori (1870–1952)

    People of substance may sin without being exposed for their stolen pleasure; but servants and the poorer sort of women have seldom an opportunity of concealing a big belly, or at least the consequences of it.
    Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
