Famous quotes containing the words high and/or command:

    “A certain degree of miserey [sic] seems inseparable from a high degree of populousness.”
    —James Madison (1751–1836)

    “Universal empire is the prerogative of a writer. His concerns are with all mankind, and though he cannot command their obedience, he can assign them their duty. The Republic of Letters is more ancient than monarchy, and of far higher character in the world than the vassal court of Britain.”
