QUOTES AND APHORISMS ON SERVANTS

Francis Bacon (1561-1626, British philosopher, essayist, statesman)
We are beginning to wonder whether a servant girl hasn't the best of it after all. She knows how the salad tastes without the dressing, and she knows how life's lived before it gets to the parlor door.

Miguel De Cervantes (1547-1616, Spanish novelist, dramatist, poet)
In the master there is a servant, in the servant a master.
Marcus T. Cicero (c. 106-43 BC, Roman orator, politician)
Me? What am I? Nothing. The legs on which dinner comes to the table, the arms by which cocktails enter the living room, the hands that drive cars. I am the eyes that see nothing, the ears that don't hear. I'm invisible too. They look and don't see me. When they move, I have to guess their direction and get myself out of the way.
Shirley Ann Grau
The most effective servants are those who can persuade others to go with them and who have learned to work in teams.

The ultimate test of servanthood is that those being served, by the way they are served, ultimately become disposed themselves to be servants.

Few men have been admired of their familiars.
Michel Eyquem De Montaigne (1533-1592, French philosopher, essayist)
