Famous quotes containing the words officer and/or ranks:

“Any officer fit for duty who at this crisis would abandon his post to electioneer for a seat in Congress ought to be scalped.”

“It is among the ranks of school-age children, those six- to twelve-year-olds who once avidly filled their free moments with childhood play, that the greatest change is evident. In the place of traditional, sometimes ancient childhood games that were still popular a generation ago, in the place of fantasy and make- believe play . . . today’s children have substituted television viewing and, most recently, video games.”
