Famous quotes containing the words rank, time and/or office:

    “I will not choose what many men desire,
    Because I will not jump with common spirits,
    And rank me with the barbarous multitudes.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “All good things were at one time bad things; every original sin has developed into an original virtue.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “The dissident does not operate in the realm of genuine power at all. He is not seeking power. He has no desire for office and does not gather votes. He does not attempt to charm the public, he offers nothing and promises nothing. He can offer, if anything, only his own skin—and he offers it solely because he has no other way of affirming the truth he stands for. His actions simply articulate his dignity as a citizen, regardless of the cost.”
    —Václav Havel (b. 1936)
