“Obedience alone gives the right to command”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“He who has never learned to obey cannot be a good commander.”
Aristotle
“The government is merely a servant -- merely a temporary servant; it cannot be its prerogative to determine what is right and what is wrong, and decide who is a patriot and who isn't. Its function is to obey orders, not originate them.”
Mark Twain
“Force does not constitute right... obedience is due only to legitimate powers.”
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
“He that cannot obey, cannot command.”
Benjamin Franklin
“An obedient wife commands her husband”
Benjamin Disraeli
“The strongest is never strong enough always to be master, unless he transforms strength into right, and obedience into duty”
