Famous quotes containing the words strike and/or command:

    “Too long we prayed
    God in the thunder,
    wonderful though he be
    and our father;
    too long, too long in the rain,
    cowering lest he strike again.”
    —Hilda Doolittle (1886–1961)

    “But as some silly young men returning from France affect a broken English, to be thought perfect in the French language; so his Lordship, I think, to seem a perfect understander of the unintelligible language of the Schoolmen, pretends an ignorance of his mother-tongue. He talks here of command and counsel as if he were no Englishman, nor knew any difference between their significations.”
    —Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
