Famous quotes containing the words vice, admiral and/or sir:
“If we confine ourselves to one life role, no matter how pleasant it seems at first, we starve emotionally and psychologically. We need a change and balance in our daily lives.

—Faye J. Crosby (20th century)
“In this country it is a good thing to kill an admiral from time to time to encourage the others.”
