Famous quotes containing the words command and/or delay:
“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 (15791688)
“Hatred and vengeance, my eternal portion,
Scarce can endure delay of execution:
Wait, with impatient readiness, to seize my
Soul in a moment.”
—William Cowper (17311800)
