Famous quotes containing the words fallen and/or officers:

    Good Sense, if you are in fact a divinity, I give myself to your worship; all of my prayers have fallen upon the ears of a deaf Jupiter.
    Propertius Sextus (c. 50–16 B.C.)

    No officer should be required or permitted to take part in the management of political organizations, caucuses, conventions, or election campaigns. Their right to vote and to express their views on public questions, either orally or through the press, is not denied, provided it does not interfere with the discharge of their official duties. No assessment for political purposes on officers or subordinates should be allowed.
    Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
