Herbert Spencer
Success isn't measured by money or power or social rank. Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace.
Mike Ditka
The changes in the human condition are uncertain and frequent. Many, on whom fortune has bestowed her favours, may trace their family to a more unprosperous station; and many who are now in obscurity, may look back upon the affluence and exalted rank of their ancestors.
Alexander Hamilton
He who joyfully marches in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice.
Albert Einstein
It is an interesting question how far men would retain their relative rank if they were divested of their clothes.
Henry David Thoreau
We were surprised that bankers and accountants came up so high. I really expected lawyers, maybe television producers and radio announcers (to rank high). In my experiences, they're pretty bad.
Charles Gerba
You can see we face great challenges. We're working hard and we're working well, but we have a long way to go if we want to see our state rank up there.
Nancy Kotowski
I will accept no commission that would tend to create a rivalry with Grant. I want him to hold what he has earned and got. I have all the rank I want.
William T. Sherman
He has made contacts, personal friendships, with each and every one of the so-called leadership Democrats, the people who are county chairs and town chairs, but more than that, he has demonstrated a capacity to make friends with rank-and-file Democrats.
Peter Burling
You would start to wonder how he is going to get into the tournaments with his ranking [currently at No. 208].
John Newcombe
It's insanity. These are rank amateurs and there is no legally binding law on these guys as far as I could tell. Why did they let them in the prison?
Robert Baer
I did two movies with Elvis, and both times not only was he was an absolute joy, but the experience itself was wonderful. He was extremely professional--always on time, knew his lines, and was very much a part of the cast, never pulling rank as the "star."
Yvonne Craig
I'm not really surprised about the ranking. How good is it here? It's so good that we have a higher inflation rate than the nation.
Paul Brewbaker
History is not going to be kind to liberals. With their mindless programs, they've managed to do to Black Americans what slavery, Reconstruction, and rank racism found impossible: destroy their family and work ethic.
Walter Williams
If the ABA were to rank her as unqualified, or merely qualified, that would really change the ballgame. Then you've got the prospect of a left-right alliance coalescing.
Stephen Bainbridge
The party line is the cue for most rank-and-file voters at the local level. Let's face it: Most voters don't follow politics on a day-to-day basis so many are going to follow the party organization.
Peter Woolley
This will let us know where we rank, as far as going against superior wrestlers.
Matt Cathell
Archbishop: a Christian ecclesiastic of a rank superior to that attained by Christ.
H. L. Mencken
I think it does give the appearance of preferential treatment with respect to gender or with respect to rank.

Allen Sinai
They are ranked in the top ten in the East Regional, and they are looking for a top national ranking.
Mac Gifford
It is my first final of the year so I am excited to be playing in it. I am looking forward to tomorrow. The result will help me in my confidence and my ranking.
Marta Domachowska
There's no doubt they deserve their No. 5 ranking. They have a wonderful inside player in George, two great shooters on the outside and so many others who are so skilled one-on-one.
Pat Sullivan
They have to look at what individual students have done rather than at their class rank because everybody that applies to them is in the top of their class.
Sandra Smith
Our No. 1 ranking, as far as I know, is the first in school history for baseball.
Rob Lubanski
It is well deserving for this group. Even though we didn't talk about the No. 1 ranking, it's always there in the back of your mind. They have played with maturity and poise and just handled situations wonderfully. I have been so pleased with the poise and the confidence of this team.
Gina Skelton
Bringing Michael to St. James' Park will rank alongside the signing of Alan Shearer as my proudest moment at Newcastle United.
Freddy Shepherd
It's at the point now that he's a little rank in the mornings and becoming very difficult to handle. I think getting him into a race is the best thing for him.
John Servis
When we got priority through downtown, it pushed us into a comfortable ranking.
Gary Thomas
I believe that Tim would rank in the top 10 for career wins here at Ireton, but unfortunately he hurt his arm last summer.
Mark Heiser
There are certain criteria set by the Official World Golf Rankings Board to award world ranking points in a tournament.
Trevor Immelman
We've addressed the ranking thing, and how fickle that is this time of year. Every weekend, two more games go by, and someone moves up or someone moves down depending on those games. So, the ranking doesn't matter.
Red Berenson
One of the reasons for Princeton's lower rank could be that it is a smaller school. Plus, it raises a disproportionate amount from alumni as opposed to other institutions with large corporate donations.
Ann Kaplan
New Hampshire has always done well in this ranking.
Scott Morgan
The goal was to make some money before the re-rank so I could play some tournaments. To come over and achieve what I've achieved, I couldn't have scripted it any better.
Dr. Jonathan Greenberg
This document suggests that Task Force 6-26 was part of a larger, clandestine program that we think may have links with high-ranking officials, because obviously someone high up had the authority to put this program in place.
Amrit Singh
I went in with the rank of private first class and came out with the rank of sergeant. He said he'd give me something higher because I had helped save most of our company, but that all the positions were full.
Ned Dummer
A lot of people have asked me about our ranking or where do we want to finish amongst the top eight, at this stage we've only been together for a couple of months and it's really important for us to take each game as it comes.
Megan Simpson
This one had to rank right up there with our top games when you consider who we were playing. Hopefully its sets the tempo for the district.
David Mead
I cannot tell you how honored I am to be here tonight. We wanted you to know that the 91st never forgets a veteran of our rank.
James Wilkinson
When this is all over, this will be bigger than any (government scandal) in the last 50 years, both in the amount of people involved and the breadth to it. It will include high-ranking members of Congress and executive branch officials.
Stan Brand
There is no question that US interrogations have resulted in deaths. High-ranking officials who knew about the torture and sat on their hands and those who created and endorsed these policies must be held accountable.
Anthony D. Romero
Both Carlton men and women have a national ranking, so they're both very strong teams. We had some close matches in both games. (The loss) wasn't unexpected, but we competed just fine.
Jeff Halberg
What you have discovered is a discrepancy between being a high-ranking leadership person and a person who isn't.
Stan Brand
If anyone was put on this earth to fulfill the role of ambassador, defined as the 'highest ranking diplomat,' that person would be Bill Strong.
Boyd Palmer
The state actually gives a higher ranking to those who are working together.
Jeff Spence
It's demoralizing the executive rank.
Jack Butler
Our ranking hasn't changed much over the years of doing this survey.
Nancy Engel
I did take the ranking into account as a helpful guide rather than something I put an extreme emphasis on.
Adam Schneider
For Amelie, the goals this year would be: First, no injury. Then maybe it is time to get the number one ranking back. And then to win another Slam. I think for Amelie her dream would be Paris.
Loic Courteau
The Roma still rank among the most discriminated-against groups in Europe.
Beate Winkler
Both teams are a rank lower than us. But they are still threats because they are in our conference and have pushed us in the past.
Jan Brogan
It was a great competition. The final ranking was really settled in the 1,000 and my only plan was to run in front.
Andre Niklaus
It's their home court, we make 28 turnovers, and we lost by four. I don't know if their [No. 10] ranking is all it's cracked up to be.
Marcel Jones
With Largo, one night one guy might score 18 points, and the next night it'll be a couple different guys. They've got to be doing something right to get their ranking. They've played good teams as well.
Doug Aplin
Continually negative, we would expect that rank and file conservatives would eventually follow.
Frank Newport
I would say he's one of the tops. We've had some really good backs come through here. Since I've been here, we've probably had six or seven Division I guys, potential NFL guys. We've had a guy go to the NFL who played running back here. I would rank him near the top, just because of his physical play and his speed and his breakaways.
Craig Rigsbee
Only 50 of the 220 possible panels would have resulted in the same ranking of the skaters following the short program.
John Emerson
Reading applications this year, I bet we've found 50 high schools at least that ranked a year ago that aren't ranking now.
James Sumner
EPAULET, n. An ornamented badge, serving to distinguish a military officer from the enemy -- that is to say, from the officer of lower rank to whom his death would give promotion.
Ambrose Bierce
The fear of kidnapping has been the main reason for learning deficiencies, especially among children whose parents are government employees or high-ranking professionals like doctors and teachers.
Maruan Abdullah
Everyone is shooting for UND because of their ranking and tradition. Everyone wants to play their best game against UND.
Brad Salem
That really impresses more than our record or ranking. We have three goalkeepers that are just phenomenal. We're really blessed to have three keepers of that level.
Bryan Sabato
We don't strive to achieve the ranking. I think the values that we hold, and the way in which we deliver the education are modeled after some of the best things that some of the elite private schools have done.
Barbara Dixon
The rank-and-file has made it clear that they want to keep on striking. We'll keep on picketing.
Steve Sutherland
I have full confidence in the capacity of the PQ to renew itself and I am convinced that the current leadership race will allow our rank-and-file members to elect as leader the person who will lead us to electoral victory and, especially, a victorious referendum.
Bernard Landry
This is really a nice compliment to our previous ranking with Consumers Digest, where that ranking relied heavily on an outside source looking at us. This ranking uses a lot of input from current students who are living the SUU educational experience.
Stephen Allen
My shoulder had some problems eight months ago, but now my shoulder is almost one hundred percent fit. It's all about the bad draw since my ranking has been much lower and I was not seededfor this year's China Open.
Paradorn Srichaphan
They could ask their families, their friends, their doctor. They could also check with the National Committee for Quality Assurance , which has a ranking of health care plans.
Paul Fronstin
We don't have an 'extremely critical' ranking very often. We use the rating sparingly so people will know when the danger is very serious.
Thomas Kristensen
I grew up in South Carolina. There are a lot of things about state government that we're not proud of where we rank. The ports authority is not one of them.
Bill Stern
New Mexico has a very high suicide rate. We generally rank in the top five. What's great about this event is people are talking about it.
Jeremy Jaramillo
In terms of his NFL potential, he has a chance to be the best running back this state has ever produced. And I think if he has a good career, he's got a chance to rank up with anybody at any position who ever came out of this area.
Dave Logan
We can enjoy this one for a little bit, but Indiana will be looking to knock us off Friday. We have gotten this high ranking because we don't look past teams. We take each team seriously because we know on any given day a team can knock you off. It is nice to maintain this home win streak though.
Ty Tucker
Maya led her team to the state championship and a No. 3 national ranking. As a player she really is the complete package.
Gary Stokan
We know it's not a perfect ranking.
Chiyome Fukino
There is no preordained system of ranking of particular activities. Applications are weighed in total, and we don't privilege any one organization.
Jenni Allen
If eastern North Carolina were a state, we would rank 50th overall in health status in the nation.
David Mcrae
I would rank her a lot higher.
Craig Shermer
If that happened, it would rank right up there with anything else I've done in my career.
Tom Perkins
The election commission is headed by the head of the supreme court in Egypt, which is much higher ranking than the administrative court, so they are not bound by that legally.
Ahmed Nazif
We ended up slightly above normal, but it didn't rank anywhere as far as the warmest winter ... Just to get into the top 20 it would have to be a 35-degree average.
Brad Rehak
On the whole we haven't been moving far enough fast to outpace and improve our overall ranking among the 50 states.
Kevin Brinegar
We met with him about six weeks ago and expressed some of our concerns (about the plan). We haven't had any talks about capital since they took keno off the table. There isn't much contact (with rank-and-file members) that we've heard of.
David Dring
I hope that the administration and DHS management take a good hard look at the results of today's ranking and make the connection that an engaged workforce is necessary to an effective department.
Colleen Kelley
I rank myself no higher in the scheme of things than a policeman - whose utility would disappear if there were no criminals.
Lord Salisbury
We need change so that Germany can get back on its feet. In Europe we were always among the first-ranking countries. We don't always have to be the first but we must be among the first.
Ursula Becker
It is unacceptable that disabled veterans in Illinois rank at the bottom of the list when it comes to disability pay. We owe our disabled veterans more than speeches, parades and monuments.
Dick Durbin
He's lost his office. He's lost his staff. And he's now basically a rank-and-file member who has a lot of friends and will still have influence.
Christopher Shays
We've made enormous progress. The Centers for Disease Control has noted that advances in motor vehicle safety rank among this country's top 10 public health achievements of the century.
Rosemary Shahan
I think South Carolina would love to beat us and improve their ranking. Beating us would help them out a lot.
Colt Gaston
We wanted to prove to everyone that we deserved the No. 1 ranking and that we're one of the best teams in the state.
Jimmy Conroy
He was a fairly high-ranking officer in the Libyan Intelligence Agency and his activities appeared to have, and can be reasoned to have, government involvement.
Lee Kreindler
Paul had a great tournament. He had a couple big wins early on. He was never intimidated by anybody or anybody's ranking, so I was really impressed with him. I thought all of our kids wrestled well.
Jerry Mcswords
There's no one in charge ... it's just a complete free-for-all ... people in high-ranking positions need to be made aware.
Chris Lawrence
. . . for the most part the worst instructed, and the least knowing of any of their rank, I ever went amongst.
Gilbert Burnet
No Republican could expect to win the GOP nod after betraying his party's rank and file.
Grover Norquist
Soft on high-ranking government officials. Can you imagine the fallout if they didn't look into it?
Gary Brown
To say we're last [in the NFC] now after one game, I don't think that means a lot. To give it a fair assessment, you would have to wait until midseason to see where we rank. We'll get better. That was certainly the feeling in the locker room.
Wade Wilson
I have always held those political opinions which point to the universal brotherhood of man, no matter in what rank of life he may have taken his origin.
Alexander Mackenzie
This kind of gave us an idea after playing all of these teams from across the state of how we rank against them.
Roy Shelton
Once we get the ranking, we can go forward and develop a capital improvement plan to get the projects done.
City Manager Maryann Courson
The large increase in profitability was due to the bank's strong expansion in retail lending, especially in home loans, where National held on to its top rank.
Dimitris Haralambopoulos
It's going to make our relative rank weaker.
John Underwood
We're just not deep enough to compete against a team like (Gustavus). Gustavus is probably going to move up to No. 1 (in the next national poll), and they deserve that ranking ? they are that good.
Jeff Halberg
It is a rank appeal to abandon the fate of all our liberties to the reasonableness of the judgment of those who are trained primarily for war.
Frank Murphy
We are concerned about the decision's effect on the rank-and-file. Anyone who does this for a living and says they don't care how it affects people's lives is lying. But we have to move this company forward.
Jack Butler
These are the beautiful people, who, befitting their rank as gods and goddesses of a powerful modern mythology, lead beautiful lives in beautiful houses, attired in beautiful clothes and, ostensibly, thinking only beautiful thoughts.
Helen Lawrenson
The number of product shipments by Japanese companies is far below of top ranking suppliers' figures.
Takenori Ugari
Once again, Cal is going to have a top 10 (in the nation) strength of schedule ranking. Our players and coaches wouldn't want it any other way.
Kevin Grimes
Currently there are no actual plans (for high ranking visits).
James Huang
Good placement comes with time and rank.
Richard Roberts
Certainly it was a tough day for them. We have learned from Col. Ian Hope that the Afghan police force lost at least two of its leaders and high-ranking officials.
Sarah Galashan
We don't get to face any more [NCAA Central Region] teams so we can't improve our head-to-head ranking.
Debby King
The ranking is important because it tells you you're dealing with a competitive city or a competitive team.
Gordon Hendry
This ranking is a great honor. Our players have worked hard thus far, and it's nice to be rewarded for that hard work.
Tim Whitman
This makes me smile. Both of these (the defense jobs and dropped poverty ranking) are an affirmation of our work. It points to improved economic vitality.
Jane Campbell
You cannot disqualify somebody after the event, nor can he disqualify himself and give back his world ranking points.
Jamie Spence
I do not mind who takes over as long as that person has the necessary football administration experience and understands what is expected irrespective of his rank in the army.
Fidelis Mhonda
The rank and file members of the club have the capacity to determine whether the proposal has merit or otherwise ... however, we appeal to all concerned to conduct their campaign in a manner which avoids unnecessary division and antagonism amongst supporters, including sponsors, after the issue is decided.
Andrew Ferguson
Pulling out game one was key. In these matches, especially with teams that are kind of evenly matched as far as ranking and all that, that first game can be critical. Winning the first game helped us gain momentum.
Brandon Shaw
The ranking early was nice, but it ended up hurting us a little bit because our kids thought they were the No. 1 team and didn't realize how hard they were going to have to work to win basketball games.
Mark Dubach
We've got the talent this year, but I'd like to keep things low-key for now, ... I hope we can live up to our ranking.
Frank Russo
This program is phenomenal and this is a good win for our program and our baseball team. You don't get a top-25 ranking by accident and they are a quality team.
James Vilade
Helen McKinney's not the rank-and-file, ... Across the board, the Republican rank-and-file have had enough.
Robert Vasquez
It is a competitive threat to other players like William Hill and Rank, but it's only mildly negative for them.
Robin Chhabra
The administration clearly was using this case for its own political reasons. This cover-up started within minutes of Pat's death, and it started at high levels. This is not something that (lower-ranking) people in the field do.
Patrick Tillman
Doing Business in 2006. The fewer regulations, the higher the ranking.
Michael Klein
If you are fortunate to win the coin toss you go on defense and find out what you have to do. This was a great emotional win for us. I've been involved in a lot of great games, but this will rank right up there.
Rocky Nelson
Mr. Bush's performance last week will rank as one of the worst ever during a dire national emergency.
Bob Herbert
Three weeks ago we were in the position to have been celebrating the league championship. Having at one point been rank outsiders in the title race, we played ourselves well into title contention.
Ernst Middendorp
This ranking just puts a bigger bulls-eye on our back, so we're just going to have to go out there and play that much harder. We kind of owe them one.
Eric Coleman
I think he understands what great talent we have, but he's doing a good job keeping us grounded. The ranking is not going to carry us to the championship game on April 5. We have to live up to it.
Emeka Okafor
If the dog perceives itself as higher in the ranking, (he) sees it as OK for him to correct you.
Emily Miller
We were really proud of that ranking. We weren't on it last year.
Elizabeth Andrews
It's based on need. There's a ranking system.
Elaine Miller
We, and others, are working on making the economics of IGCC (integrated gasification combined cycle) more competitive with the use of these lower-rank coals -- i.e., non-bituminous coals, which is Powder River Basin.
Edward Lowe
It's a wonderful ranking and it's a very special designation. We're proud the ranking speaks to more than the design of the golf course but also to the traditional golf experience and ambiance of The Kingsley Club.
Fred Walker
I was interested to see where people would rank us, and obviously we're fifth or sixth. They obviously don't have a lot of respect for what we have returning. We'll talk about that occasionally with our players on days where we lack a little motivation.
Ed Servais
Ranking will be a big part of it. There is a lot more that will play into it. Right now I'm just relying on what I need for the Fed Cup and I'll look at the Olympics after that.
