Land Force Command

Famous quotes containing the words land, force and/or command:

    “croppers rotting shacks
    with famine, terror, flood, and plague near by;
    where sentiment and hatred still held sway
    and only bitter land was washed away.”
    —Margaret Abigail Walker (b. 1915)

    “The mass believes that it has the right to impose and to give force of law to notions born in the café.”
    —José Ortega Y Gasset (1883–1955)

    “Under bare Ben Bulben’s head
    In Drumcliff churchyard Yeats is laid.
    An ancestor was rector there
    Long years ago, a church stands near,
    By the road an ancient cross.
    No marble, no conventional phrase;
    On limestone quarried near the spot
    By his command these words are cut:
    Cast a cold eye
    On life, on death.
    Horseman pass by!”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
