Famous quotes containing the word palm:
“How did you get in the Navy? How did you get on our side? Ah, you ignorant, arrogant, ambitiouskeeping sixty two men in prison cause you got a palm tree for the work they did. I dont know which I hate worse, you or that malignant growth that stands outside your door. How did you ever get command of a ship? I realize in wartime they have to scrape the bottom of the barrel. But whered they ever scrape you up?”
—Frank S. Nugent (19081965)
