Naval John Rodgers

Famous quotes containing the words naval and/or rodgers:

    It is now time to stop and to ask ourselves the question which my last commanding officer, Admiral Hyman Rickover, asked me and every other young naval officer who serves or has served in an atomic submarine. For our Nation M for all of us M that question is, “Why not the best?”
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    this is the night, and this the happy time
    When the tinned milk of human kindness is
    Upheld and holed by radio-appeal.
    —William Robert Rodgers (1909–1969)
