Famous quotes containing the words officers, killed, line and/or duty:

    “In the weakness of one kind of authority, and in the fluctuation of all, the officers of an army will remain for some time mutinous and full of faction, until some popular general, who understands the art of conciliating the soldiery, and who possesses the true spirit of command, shall draw the eyes of all men upon himself. Armies will obey him on his personal account. There is no other way of securing military obedience in this state of things.”
    —Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    “Now a Jew, in the dictionary, is one who is descended from the ancient tribes of Judea, or one who is regarded as descended from that tribe. That’s what it says in the dictionary; but you and I know what a Jew is—One Who Killed Our Lord.... And although there should be a statute of limitations for that crime, it seems that those who neither have the actions nor the gait of Christians, pagan or not, will bust us out, unrelenting dues, for another deuce.”
    —Lenny Bruce (1925–1966)

    “For almost seventy years the life insurance industry has been a smug sacred cow feeding the public a steady line of sacred bull.”
    —Ralph Nader (b. 1934)

    “Rights that do not flow from duty well performed are not worth having.”
    —Mohandas K. Gandhi (1869–1948)
