Won Promotion

Famous quotes containing the words won and/or promotion:

“A girl loves most often because she is loved,Mnot from choice on her part. She is won by the flattery of the man’s desire.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)

“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)
