Famous quotes containing the words general and/or music:
“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)
“Morning work! By the blushes of Aurora and the music of Memnon, what should be man’s morning work in this world?”
