“Obedience alone gives the right to command”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“He that cannot obey, cannot command.”
Benjamin Franklin
“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
“The strongest is never strong enough always to be master, unless he transforms strength into right, and obedience into duty”
“An obedient wife commands her husband”
Benjamin Disraeli
