Command

Famous quotes containing the word command:

“It is manifest therefore that they who have sovereign power, are immediate rulers of the church under Christ, and all others but subordinate to them.

—Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

“‘Tis not in mortals to command success,
But we’ll do more, Sempronius, we’ll deserve it.”

“Children from humble families must be taught how to command just as other children must be taught how to obey.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
