Famous quotes containing the words equipment and/or personnel:

    “Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?”
    —Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)

    “This woman is headstrong, obstinate and dangerously self- opinionated.”
    —Report by Personnel Officer at I.C.I., rejecting Mrs. Thatcher for a job in 1948.
