Famous quotes containing the words officers, killed, line and/or duty:

    “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)

    “We have scorched the snake, not killed it:
    She’ll close and be herself.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Michelangelo said to Pope Julius II, “Self negation is noble, self-culture is beneficent, self-possession is manly, but to the truly great and inspiring soul they are poor and tame compared to self-abuse.” Mr. Brown, here, in one of his latest and most graceful poems refers to it in an eloquent line which is destined to live to the end of time—”None know it but to love it, None name it but to praise.””
    —Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)

    “Christianity has operated with an unmitigated arrogance and cruelty—necessarily, since a religion ordinarily imposes on those who have discovered the true faith the spiritual duty of liberating the infidels.”
    —James Baldwin (1924–1987)
