Famous quotes containing the word ranks:

    “Next to our free political institutions, our free public-school system ranks as the greatest achievement of democratic life in America ...”
    —Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)

    “It has lately been drawn to your correspondent’s attention that, at social gatherings, she is not the human magnet she would be. Indeed, it turns out that as a source of entertainment, conviviality, and good fun, she ranks somewhere between a sprig of parsley and a single ice- skate. It would appear, from the actions of the assembled guests, that she is about as hot company as a night nurse.”
    —Dorothy Parker (1893–1967)

    “A comfortable house is a great source of happiness. It ranks immediately after health and a good conscience.”
    —Sydney Smith (1771–1845)
