Famous quotes containing the words head of, head, prime, minister, military and/or cabinet:

    A king’s head is solemnly oiled at his coronation, even as a head of salad.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    His eyelids droop, his head falls low,
    His old eyes cloud with dreams;
    The sun upon all things that grow
    Falls in sleepy streams.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    The Prime Minister has an absolute genius for putting flamboyant labels on empty luggage.
    Aneurin Bevan (1897–1960)

    But, my dear, you cannot live in isolation from the human race, you know.
    John Clifford, U.S. screenwriter, and Herk Harvey. Minister (Stan Levitt)

    In politics, it seems, retreat is honorable if dictated by military considerations and shameful if even suggested for ethical reasons.
    Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)

    Fences, unlike punishments, clearly mark out the perimeters of any specified territory. Young children learn where it is permissible to play, because their backyard fence plainly outlines the safe area. They learn about the invisible fence that surrounds the stove, and that Grandma has an invisible barrier around her cabinet of antique teacups.
    Jeanne Elium (20th century)
