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

    “In the weakness of one kind of authority, and in the fluctuation of all, the officers of an army will remain for some time mutinous and full of faction, until some popular general, who understands the art of conciliating the soldiery, and who possesses the true spirit of command, shall draw the eyes of all men upon himself. Armies will obey him on his personal account. There is no other way of securing military obedience in this state of things.”
    —Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    “Mrs. Grayle: You know, this’ll be the first time I’ve ever killed anyone I knew so little and liked so well. What’s your name?
    Philip Marlowe: Philip for short.
    Mrs. Grayle: Philip. Philip Marlowe. A name for a duke. You’re just a nice mug.”
    —John Paxton (1911–1985)

    “If you’re anxious for to shine in the high esthetic line as a man
    of culture rare,
    You must get up all the germs of the transcendental terms, and plant
    them everywhere.
    You must lie upon the daisies and discourse in novel phrases of your
    complicated state of mind,
    The meaning doesn’t matter if it’s only idle chatter of a
    transcendental kind.”
    —Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)

    “Oh! Duty is an icy shadow. It will freeze you. It cannot fill the heart’s sanctuary.”
    —Augusta Evans (1835–1909)
