If you go to the city of Washington, and you examine the pages of the Congressional Directory, you will find that almost all of those corporation lawyers and cowardly politicians, members of Congress, and misrepresentatives of the masses - you will find that almost all of them claim, in glowing terms, that they have risen from the ranks to places of eminence and distinction. I am very glad that I cannot make that claim for myself. I would be ashamed to admit that I had risen from the ranks. When I rise it will be with the ranks, and not from the ranks.
When I rise it will be with the ranks, and not from the ranks.

Ninety percent of our managers started in the hourly ranks or started in the lower ranks.
There is often no material difference between the enjoyment of the highest ranks and those of the rudest stages of society.
