Famous quotes containing the words command and, command and/or staff:

    “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)

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

    “Each one threw down his staff, and they became snakes; but Aaron’s staff swallowed up theirs.”
    —Bible: Hebrew, Exodus 7:12.
