Famous quotes containing the words read and/or command:
“Nor do they trust their tongue alone,
But speak a language of their own;
Can read a nod, a shrug, a look,
Far better than a printed book;
Convey a libel in a frown,
And wink a reputation down.”
—Jonathan Swift (16671745)
“I, who should command a regiment,
Do amble amiably here, O God,
One of the neat ones in your awkward squad.”
