Famous quotes containing the words command and/or history:
“Ordinary time is “quality time” too. Everyday activities are not just necessities that keep you from serious child rearing: they are the best opportunities for learning you can give your child...because her chief task in her first three years is precisely to gain command of the day-to-day life you take for granted.”
—Amy Laura Dombro (20th century)
“The one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
