Famous quotes containing the words rank and/or promotions:

    “Your rank is way down below his when you seek to establish the exceptions and he seeks to establish the rule.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “For a parent, it’s hard to recognize the significance of your work when you’re immersed in the mundane details. Few of us, as we run the bath water or spread the peanut butter on the bread, proclaim proudly, “I’m making my contribution to the future of the planet.” But with the exception of global hunger, few jobs in the world of paychecks and promotions compare in significance to the job of parent.”
    —Joyce Maynard (20th century)
