Famous quotes containing the word command:

    I, who should command a regiment,
    Do amble amiably here, O God,
    One of the neat ones in your awkward squad.
    Norman Cameron (b. 1905)

    It is manifest therefore that they who have sovereign power, are immediate rulers of the church under Christ, and all others but subordinate to them. If that were not, but kings should command one thing upon pain of death, and priests another upon pain of damnation, it would be impossible that peace and religion should stand together.
    Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

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