Promotion Place

Famous quotes containing the words promotion and/or place:

    I am asked if I would not be gratified if my friends would procure me promotion to a brigadier-generalship. My feeling is that I would rather be one of the good colonels than one of the poor generals. The colonel of a regiment has one of the most agreeable positions in the service, and one of the most useful. “A good colonel makes a good regiment,” is an axiom.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    Come to think of it, Pasadena’s as good a place to die as any.
    Michael Tolkin, U.S. screenwriter, and Robert Altman. Walter (Fred Ward)
