Famous quotes containing the words hereditary and/or offices:

    “We bring [to government] no hereditary status or gift of infallibility and none follows us from this place.”
    —Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)

    “I made him a low curtsy and thanked him for the honor he intended me, but told him I had no kind of ambition to be his upper servant.... I then asked him how many offices he had allotted for me to perform for those great advantages he had offered me, of suffering me to humor him in all his whims and to receive meat, drink, and lodging at his hands; but hoped he would allow me some small wages, that I might now and then recreate myself with my fellow servants.”
    —Sarah Fielding (1710–1768)
