Famous quotes containing the words forces and/or command:
“Ah! how much a mother learns from her child! The constant protection of a helpless being forces us to so strict an alliance with virtue, that a woman never shows to full advantage except as a mother. Then alone can her character expand in the fulfillment of all life’s duties and the enjoyment of all its pleasures.”
—Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)
“‘Tis not in mortals to command success,
But we’ll do more, Sempronius, we’ll deserve it.”
