Famous quotes containing the words star and/or office:
“Firmness yclept in heroes, kings and seamen,
That is, when they succeed; but greatly blamed
As obstinacy, both in men and women,
Wheneer their triumph pales, or star is tamed
And twill perplex the casuist in morality
To fix the due bounds of this dangerous quality.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (17881824)
“It is easier to appear worthy of a position one does not hold, than of the office which one fills.”
