Famous quotes containing the words dominion, star and/or war:
“The great must submit to the dominion of prudence and of virtue, or none will long submit to the dominion of the great.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
“The flattering, if arbitrary, label, First Lady of the Theatre, takes its toll. The demands are great, not only in energy but eventually in dramatic focus. It is difficult, if not impossible, for a star to occupy an inch of space without bursting seams, cramping everyone else’s style and unbalancing a play. No matter how self-effacing a famous player may be, he makes an entrance as a casual neighbor and the audience interest shifts to the house next door.”
—Helen Hayes (1900–1993)
“Force, and fraud, are in war the two cardinal virtues.”
—Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679)
