Master Rank

Famous quotes containing the words master and/or rank:

“A penniless man who has no ties to bind him is master of himself at any rate, but a luckless wretch who is in love no longer belongs to himself, and may not take his own life. Love makes us almost sacred in our own eyes; it is the life of another that we revere within us; then and so begins for us the cruelest trouble of all.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

“Pukka sahib or rank outsider—gentleman or bounder—and it’s accent, accent, all the way.”
