It takes a hundred times more skill to make love than to command an army.
Ninon de L'Enclos
Image
Can anything be imagined so ridiculous that this miserable and wretched creature, who is not so much as master of himself, but subject to the injuries of all things, should call himself master and emperor of the world, of which he has not power to know the least part, much less to command the whole?
Michel de Montaigne
Image
Do they think that I am such a damned fool as to think myself fit for President of the United States? No, sir I know what I am fit for. I can command a body of men in a rough way, but I am not fit to be President.
Andrew Jackson
Image
Certainly, there are huge, multiplatinum bands whose singers command their audience's attention. Sadly, much of the time they have little to say.
Henry Rollins
Image
A struggle for liberty is in itself respectable and glorious. . . . When conducted with magnanimity, justice and humanity, it ought to command the admiration of every friend to human nature. But if sullied by crimes and extravagancies, it loses its respectability.
Alexander Hamilton
Image
The true virtue of human beings is fitness to live together as equals claiming nothing for themselves but what they as freely concede to everyone else regarding command of any kind as an exceptional neccessity, and in all cases a temporary one.
John Stuart Mill
Image
When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers just men who will rule in the fear of God. The preservation of a republican government depends on the faithful discharge of this duty.
Noah Webster
Image
Happiness can never hope to command so much interest as distress.
Stella Gibbons
Image
Those who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people.
Aristotle
Image
Disciple making is not a call for others to come to us to hear the gospel but a command for us to go to others to share the gospel.
David Platt
Image
The question remains, as it will always remain, one of ultimate authority. Who are you going to follow in your life? Who will command your allegiance? Christ...or culture? You really can't have it both ways.
Stu Weber
Image
When you play against an experienced opponent who exploits all the defensive resources at his command you sometimes have to walk time and again, along the narrow path of 'the only move'.
David Bronstein
Image
Keep cool and you command everybody.
Louis Antoine de Saint-Just
Image
Jesus Christ didnt commit the gospel to an advertising agency He commissioned disciples. And He didnt command them to put up signs and pass out tracts He said that they would be His witnesses.
Joseph Bayly
Image
The finest command of language is often shown by saying nothing.
Roger Babson
Image
If you have a craftsman's command of the language and basic writing techniques you'll be able to write - as long as you know what you want to say
Jeffery Deaver
Image
Nobody's more mindful of the sacrifices of our troops than those of us that command them.
John Abizaid
Image
Controversy for the sake of controversy is sin. Controversy for the sake of truth is a divine command.
Walter Martin
Image
We owe to one another all the wit and good humour we can command and nothing so clears our mental vistas as sympathetic and intelligent conversation.
Agnes Repplier
Image
See, then, how powerful religion is it commands the heart, it commands the vitals. Morality,--that comes with a pruning-knife, and cuts off all sproutings, all wild luxuriances but religion lays the axe to the root of the tree. Morality looks that the skin of the apple be fair but religion searcheth to the very core.
Nathaniel Culverwell
Image
To wheedle and coax is safer than to command.
Anne Bronte
Image
Next time I go into the action - I shall command a hundred men - & possibly I may bring off some coup. Besides I shall have some other motive for taking chances than merely love of adventure.
Winston Churchill
Image
It is our duty to look to God's commands, and not to His decrees to our own duty, and not to His purposes. The decrees of God are a vast ocean, into which many possibly have curiously pried to their own horror and despair but few or none have ever pried into them to their own profit and satisfaction.
Thomas Boston
Image
Our system provides for a winner to take office on January 20th, and he is expected to take command of the ship of state. Failure to do so, characterized by hesitation and indecision, will harm the national interest.
Richard V. Allen
