Famous quotes containing the words strike and/or command:

    “... no one knows anything about a strike until he has seen it break down into its component parts of human beings.”
    —Mary Heaton Vorse (1874–1966)

    “How did you get in the Navy? How did you get on our side? Ah, you ignorant, arrogant, ambitious—keeping sixty two men in prison cause you got a palm tree for the work they did. I don’t know which I hate worse, you or that malignant growth that stands outside your door. How did you ever get command of a ship? I realize in wartime they have to scrape the bottom of the barrel. But where’d they ever scrape you up?”
    —Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
