Command Line

Famous quotes containing the words command and/or line:

“I, who should command a regiment,
Do amble amiably here, O God,
One of the neat ones in your awkward squad.”
—Norman Cameron (b. 1905)

“Their bodies are buried in peace; but their name liveth for evermore.”
—Apocrypha. Ecclesiasticus, 44:14.

The line “their name liveth for evermore” was chosen by Rudyard Kipling on behalf of the Imperial War Graves Commission as an epitaph to be used in Commonwealth War Cemeteries. Kipling had himself lost a son in the fighting.
