Mission Support Command

Famous quotes containing the words mission, support and/or command:

    We never can tell how our lives may work to the account of the general good, and we are not wise enough to know if we have fulfilled our mission or not.
    Ellen Henrietta Swallow Richards (1842–1911)

    She isn’t harassed. She’s busy, and it’s glamorous to be busy. Indeed, the image of the on- the-go working mother is very like the glamorous image of the busy top executive. The scarcity of the working mother’s time seems like the scarcity of the top executive’s time.... The analogy between the busy working mother and the busy top executive obscures the wage gap between them at work, and their different amounts of backstage support at home.
    Arlie Hochschild (20th century)

    By his command these words are cut:
    Cast a cold eye
    On life, on death.
    Horseman, pass by!
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
