Servile Quotes

I hardly know so true a mark of a little mind as the servile imitation of others Picture Quote #1

The hollowness of our worship, and that servile imitation of the world which marks our promotional methods all testify that we, in this day, know God only imperfectly, and the peace of God scarcely at all Picture Quote #1

Show me a population that is deeply religious and I will show you a servile population, content with whips and chains,... content to eat the bread of sorrow and drink the waters of affliction Picture Quote #1

In a despotic government, the only principle by which the tyrant who is to move the whole machine means to regulate and manage the people is fear, by the servile dread of his power. But a free government, which of all others is far the most preferable, cannot be supported without virtue Picture Quote #1

To conform within rational limits to a given style is no more servile than to pay one’s taxes or to write according to the rule of grammar Picture Quote #1

Painting, like poetry, selects in the universe whatever she deems most appropriate to her ends. She assembles in a single fantastic personage, circumstances and features which nature distributes among many individuals. From this combination, ingeniously composed, results that happy imitation by virtue of which the artist earns the title of inventor and not of servile copyist Picture Quote #1

Only those are called liberal or free which are concerned with knowledge; those which are concerned with utilitarian ends... are called servile... The question is... can man develop to the full as a functionary and a worker and nothing else; can a full human existence be contained within an exclusively workaday existence? Stated differently and translated back into our terms: is there such a thing as a liberal art? Picture Quote #1

It is impossible that anything will be well understood or well done that is taken into a reluctant understanding, and executed with a servile hand Picture Quote #1

The superior thing... was to be late. Lateness showed that serene contempt for the illusion we call time which is so necessary to ensure the respect of others and oneself. Only the servile are punctual Picture Quote #1

There is something servile in the habit of seeking after a law which we may obey. We may study the laws of matter at and for our convenience, but a successful life knows no law Picture Quote #1
