We expect the current account position to remain comfortably in a surplus. Despite recent capital outflows, we believe Malaysia's external debt position also remains serviceable. – Rahul Bajoria	Found on Reuters 8 years ago
It was perfectly serviceable. – Hal Buell	Found on CNN 9 years ago
The ability to quote is a serviceable substitute for wit. – W. Somerset Maugham	added by anonymous 13 years ago
A knave; a rascal; an eater of broken meats; a base, proud, shallow, beggarly, three-suited, hundred-pound, filthy, worsted-stocking knave; a lily-livered, action-taking knave, a whoreson, glass-gazing, super-serviceable finical rogue; one-trunk-inheriting slave; one that wouldst be a bawd, in way of good service, and art nothing but the composition of a knave, beggar, coward, pandar, and the son and heir of a mongrel bitch: one whom I will beat into clamorous whining, if thou deniest the least syllable of thy addition. – Earl of Kent, _The_Tragedy_of_King_Lear_	added by anonymous 13 years ago
If any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderful than the rest, I do think it is memory. There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible in the powers, the failures, the inequalities of memory, than in any other of our intelligences. The memory is sometimes so retentive, so serviceable, so obedient; at others, so bewildered and so weak; and at others again, so tyrannic, so beyond control! We are, to be sure, a miracle every way; but our powers of recollecting and of forgetting do seem peculiarly past finding out. – Jane Austen, Mansfield Park	added by anonymous 13 years ago
She had a pretty gift for quotation, which is a serviceable substitute for wit. – W. Somerset Maugham	added by anonymous 14 years ago

Property left to a child may soon be lost but the inheritance of virtue--a good name an unblemished reputation--will abide forever. If those who are toiling for wealth to leave their children, would but take half the pains to secure for them virtuous habits, how much more serviceable would they be. The largest property may be wrested from a child, but virtue will stand by him to the last. – William Graham Sumner	added by anonymous 14 years ago
