TT: Almanac
"‘There you are, Collins,' Colonel Ross said. ‘I think we can get your promotion next week.'"The warm feeling which came from power to arrange so quickly a considerable favor for somebody else, which was also reasonably sure to be a good stroke of business for himself, lasted him, Colonel Ross supposed, half a minute. In this life, you succeeded when you were young because you never risked letting anyone do anything for you; and when you were old you succeeded, if you did, because you never risked doing yourself what you could pick someone to do for you."
James Gould Cozzens, Guard of Honor
