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)
“Thatcher: You’re too old to call me “Mr. Thatcher,” Charles.
Charles Foster Kane: You’re too old to be called anything else. You were always too old.”
