Famous quotes containing the words rank, promotion and/or record:

    “My rank is the highest known in Switzerland: I am a free citizen.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “I am asked if I would not be gratified if my friends would procure me promotion to a brigadier-generalship. My feeling is that I would rather be one of the good colonels than one of the poor generals. The colonel of a regiment has one of the most agreeable positions in the service, and one of the most useful. “A good colonel makes a good regiment,” is an axiom.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “The lowest and vilest alleys of London do not present a more dreadful record of sin than does the smiling and beautiful countryside.”
    —Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (1859–1930)
