Congress seems drugged and inert most of the time... its idea of meeting a problem is to hold hearings or, in extreme cases, to appoint a commission.
Shirley Chisholm
Every time I appoint someone to a vacant position, I make a hundred unhappy and one ungrateful.
Louis XIV
Great God of the Ants, thou hast granted victory to thy servants. I appoint thee honorary Colonel.
Karel Capek
I move to appoint a Committee to correspond with the neighboring colonies, on the present important Crisis.
Isaac Low
I would first recommend we appoint a Police Director that commands the respect of the rank and file.
Vincent Frank
If you see a snake, just kill it - don't appoint a committee on snakes.

If the American people care about a lot of things including corruption in government, then, in fact, if you use the power to appoint in order to do political business, to clear fields, to save your party money and so on, if it's not a crime - and I believe it is - it certainly is business as usual, politics of corruption.
Darrell Issa

The time frame is very small to disarm the militia, to bring about a security situation in which the governing council, the 24 Iraqis or however many others they appoint, can govern the country.
Richard Lugar
We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.
Aesop
You don't expect to get the letter saying, Her Majesty would like to appoint you Knight Commander of the British Empire! It was just a completely overwhelming and exciting day.
