Direct Promotion

Famous quotes containing the words direct and/or promotion:

“He had robbed the body of its taint, the world’s taunts of their sting; he had shown her the holiness of direct desire.”
—E.M. (Edward Morgan)

“I am asked if I would not be gratified if my friends would procure me promotion to a brigadier-generalship. 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)
