Famous quotes containing the words chief, warrant and/or officer:
“Even if matter could do every outward thing that God does, the idea of it would not work as satisfactorily, because the chief call for a God on modern mens part is for a being who will inwardly recognize them and judge them sympathetically.

—William James (18421910)
“Heres to the maiden of bashful fifteen;
Heres to the widow of fifty;
Heres to the flaunting extravagant queen;
And heres to the housewife thats thrifty.
Let the toast pass,
Drink to the lass,
Ill warrant shell prove an excuse for the glass.”
—Richard Brinsley Sheridan (17511816)
“It is now time to stop and to ask ourselves the question which my last commanding officer, Admiral Hyman Rickover, asked me and every other young naval officer who serves or has served in an atomic submarine. For our Nation M for all of us M that question is, Why not the best?”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
