Famous quotes containing the word ranks:

    “By the flow of the inland river,
    Whence the fleets of iron have fled,
    Where the blades of the grave-grass quiver,
    Asleep are the ranks of the dead:—”
    —Francis Miles Finch (1827–1907)

    “A comfortable house is a great source of happiness. It ranks immediately after health and a good conscience.”
    —Sydney Smith (1771–1845)

    “Do not try to push your way through to the front ranks of your profession; do not run after distinctions and rewards; but do your utmost to find an entry into the world of beauty.”
    —Konstantin Stanislavsky (1863–1938)
