Rank does not confer privilege or give power. It imposes responsibility.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The responsibilities which are imposed by rank and privilege and good fortune can... become very onerous indeed.
The possible ranks higher than the actual.
People in positions of power and privilege have a duty to perform at a higher level. If not them, then who?
Any commander who fails to exceed his authority is not of much use to his subordinates.
I think that anything that has privileges have responsibility and all people that is clear about their responsibility has compromise.
To work with the hands or brain, according to our requirements and our capacities, to do that which lies before us to do, is more honorable than rank and title.
Power should be reserved for weightlifting and boats, and leadership really involves responsibility.
When you are aspiring to the highest place, it is honorable to reach the second or even the third rank.
Think of giving not as a duty but as a privilege.
There is no rank in sacrifice.
