Famous quotes containing the words chief and/or conductors:

    “‘You’re wounded!’ ‘Nay,’ his soldier’s pride

    ‘I’m killed, Sire!’ And his Chief beside,
    Smiling the boy fell dead.”
    —Robert Browning (1812–1889)

    “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.”
