Famous quotes containing the words command and/or history:

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

    In the history of the United States, there is no continuity at all. You can cut through it anywhere and nothing on this side of the cut has anything to do with anything on the other side.
