“Between a man and his wife nothing ought to rule but love. Authority is for children and servants, yet not without sweetness.”
William Penn
“The wife was made of the husband's rib; not of his head, for Paul calleth the husband the wife's head; not of the foot, for he must not set her at his foot. The servant is appointed to serve, and the wife to help. If she must not match with the head, nor stoop at the foot, where shall he set her then? He must set her at his heart, and therefore she which should lie in his bosom was made in his bosom.”
Henry Smith
“Test a servant while in the discharge of his duty, a relative in difficulty, a friend in adversity, and a wife in misfortune.”
Chanakya
“Wife and servant are the same, but only differ in the name: For when that fatal knot is tied, which nothing, nothing can divide: When she the word obey has said, and man by law supreme has made, Then all that's kind is laid aside, and nothing left”
Lady Mary Chudleigh
“I met with him last week in Baton Rouge to clarify the rules of appointment of a civil servant. I asked him to talk to us, because he can explain it more elegantly than I can. The bottom line is he said we took the correct action.”
Darryl Wagley
“Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.”
Bible
“And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.”
