Acting Company Commander

Famous quotes containing the words acting, company and/or commander:

“It especially helps if you know that we’re all faking our adulthood—even your parents and their parents. Beneath these adult trappings—in our president, in our parents, in you and me—lurk the emotions of a child. If we know that only about ourselves, we become infantile; if we understand that about everybody, then we have nothing to be ashamed of—unless, of course, we go around acting like a child and expecting everyone else to act like grownups.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)

“We do not mind our not arriving anywhere nearly so much as our not having any company on the way.”
—Frank Moore Colby (1865–1925)

“A commander in the field must sometimes go against the king’s orders.”
—Chinese proverb.
