Colonel Martin

Famous quotes containing the words colonel and/or martin:

    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)

    Francine Evans: That seat’s taken.
    Jimmy Doyle: I know it’s taken. But I’m gonna sit here and I’m gonna figure out another angle.
    Earl MacRauch, U.S. screenwriter, Mardik Martin, and Martin Scorsese. Francine Evans (Liza Minnelli)
