Command Quotes
Nobody has been held accountable for the Bytyqi murders. Those in command of the camp and the forces operating there have never been charged.
Avis Bohlen
But the valid issue is the extent to which man knows how to form and master the material at his command.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
She was without any power, because she was without any desire of command over herself.
Jane Austen
We could still have continued the arms race, but the arms race was pointless, and it was another reason we decided to start perestroika. It was senseless to continue to accumulate weapons. We had enough weapons to destroy life on Earth 1,000 times, and therefore it was very clear to us that the arms race could spiral out of control. A conflict could have started, as both the Americans and the Soviets realized, not out of a wrong political decision but because of a failure in the command-and-control systems.
Mikhail Gorbachev
Through the art of affirmative prayer the limitless resources of the Spirit are at my command. The power of the Infinite is at my disposal.
Ernest Holmes
The present relationship existing between husband and wife, where one claims a command over the actions of the other, is nothing more than a remnant of the old leaven of slavery. It is necessarily destructive of refined love; for how can a man continue to regard as his type of the ideal a being whom he has, be denying an equality of privilege with himself, degraded to something below himself?
Herbert Spencer
I didn't feel in command at all. I just grinded.
Pedro Martinez
He who has learned how to obey will know how to command.
Solon
Government is the greatest combination for forces known to human society. It can command more men and raise more money than any and all other agencies combined.
David Dudley Field II
Tis a dainty thing to command, though 'twere but a flock of sheep.
Miguel de Cervantes
What I "discovered" was that happiness is not something that happens. It is not the result of good fortune or random chance. It is not something that money can buy or power command. It does not depend on outside events, but, rather, on how we interpret them. Happiness, in fact, is a condition that must be prepared for, cultivated, and defended privately by each person. People who learn to control inner experience will be able to determine the quality of their lives, which is as close as any of us can come to being happy.
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
When we set goals we are in command. If we know where we are going, we can judge more accurately where we are now and make effective plans to reach our destination.
Ezra Taft Benson
