General Rank

Famous quotes containing the words general and/or rank:

“He who never sacrificed a present to a future good or a personal to a general one can speak of happiness only as the blind do of colors.”

“Its whether will ye be a rank robber’s wife,
Or will ye die by my wee pen knife?

Its I’ll not be a rank robber’s wife,
But I’ll rather die by your wee pen knife.

He ‘s killed this may and he ‘s laid her by,
For to bear the red rose company.”
