Famous quotes containing the words strike and/or command:

    “There is a certain class of unbelievers who sometimes ask me such questions as, if I think that I can live on vegetable food alone; and to strike at the root of the matter at once,—for the root is faith,—I am accustomed to answer such, that I can live on board nails. If they cannot understand that, they cannot understand much that I have to say.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “By his command these words are cut:
    Cast a cold eye
    On life, on death.
    Horseman, pass by!”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
