Rank Warrant Officer

Famous quotes containing the words rank, warrant and/or officer:

    I have not loved the world, nor the world me;
    I have not flatter’d its rank breath, nor bow’d
    To its idolatries a patient knee.
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)

    Sir Andrew Aguecheek. Here’s the challenge, read it. I warrant there’s vinegar and pepper in’t.
    Fabian. Is’t so saucy?
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    If the tax-gatherer, or any other public officer, asks me, as one has done, “But what shall I do?” my answer is, “If you really wish to do anything, resign your office.” When the subject has refused allegiance, and the officer has resigned his office, then the revolution is accomplished.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
