Famous quotes containing the words command and/or history:

    ‘Tis not in mortals to command success,
    But we’ll do more, Sempronius, we’ll deserve it.
    Joseph Addison (1672–1719)

    The history of any nation follows an undulatory course. In the trough of the wave we find more or less complete anarchy; but the crest is not more or less complete Utopia, but only, at best, a tolerably humane, partially free and fairly just society that invariably carries within itself the seeds of its own decadence.
    Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
