Famous quotes containing the words draft and/or lottery:
“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)
“I think people really marry far too much; it is such a lottery after all, and for a poor woman a very doubtful happiness.”
