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

    “Now for civil service reform. Legislation must be prepared and executive rules and maxims. We must limit and narrow the area of patronage. We must diminish the evils of office-seeking. We must stop interference of federal officers with elections. We must be relieved of congressional dictation as to appointments.”
    —Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)

    “I know of one who deserves to be called the Tree-hater, and, perhaps, to leave this for a new patronymic to his children. You would think that he had been warned by an oracle that he would be killed by the fall of a tree, and so was resolved to anticipate them.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “This is something that I cannot get over—that a whole line could be written by half a man, that a work could be built on the quicksand of a character.”
    —Karl Kraus (1874–1936)

    “Poor Casey Jones he was all right,
    He stuck by his duty both day an’ night,”
    —Unknown. Casey Jones. . .
