Famous quotes containing the words uniform and/or tests:

    “He may be a very nice man. But I haven’t got the time to figure that out. All I know is, he’s got a uniform and a gun and I have to relate to him that way. That’s the only way to relate to him because one of us may have to die.”
    —James Baldwin (1924–1987)

    “The secret of a leader lies in the tests he has faced over the whole course of his life and the habit of action he develops in meeting those tests.”
    —Gail Sheehy (b. 1937)
