C.N. Douglas, comp. Forty Thousand Quotations: Prose and Poetical. 1917.

Servility

A nod from a lord is a breakfast for a fool.

Franklin.

O villains, vipers, dogs, easily won to fawn on any man!

Shakespeare.

Servility is to devotion what hypocrisy is to virtue.

Mme. de Girardin.

With that can creep, and pride that licks the dust.

Pope.

The politics of courtiers resemble their shadows; they cringe and turn with the sun of the day.

J. Petit-Senn.

Servility is disgusting to a truly noble character, and engenders only contempt.

Hosea Ballou.
