Deputy Permanent Secretary

Famous quotes containing the words deputy, permanent and/or secretary:

    Not all the water in the rough rude sea

    The deputy elected by the Lord.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    When we are unhurried and wise, we perceive that only great and worthy things have any permanent and absolute existence, that petty fears and petty pleasures are but the shadow of the reality. This is always exhilarating and sublime.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    ... the wife of an executive would be a better wife had she been a secretary first. As a secretary, you learn to adjust to the boss’s moods. Many marriages would be happier if the wife would do that.
    Anne Bogan, U.S. executive secretary. As quoted in Working, book 1, by Studs Terkel (1973)
