Famous quotes containing the words chief and/or conductors:

    “The Chief Defect of Henry King
    Was chewing little bits of String.
    At last he swallowed some which tied
    Itself in ugly Knots inside.”
    —Hilaire Belloc (1870–1953)

    “I was the conductor of the Underground Railroad for eight years, and I can say what most conductors can’t say—I never ran my train off the track and I never lost a passenger.”
    —Harriet Tubman (1821–1913)
