Famous quotes containing the words house and/or officer:

    “Yet the day wears,
    And door succeeds door;
    I try the fresh fortune—
    Range the wide house from the wing to the centre,
    Still the same chance! she goes out as I enter.
    Spend my whole day in the quest,—who cares?”
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    “Any officer fit for duty who at this crisis would abandon his post to electioneer for a seat in Congress ought to be scalped.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
