Won Promotion

Famous quotes containing the words won and/or promotion:

    A man who knows the Real
    is won only by true feeling.
    Who can fool an old cat
    with sour gruel?
    Hla Stavhana (c. 50 A.D.)

    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)
