“The mind commands the body and it obeys. The mind orders itself and meets resistance.”
Frank Herbert
Dune
“The mind commands the body, and obedience is instant; the mind commands itself and meets resistance. The mind tells the hand to move, and all goes so smoothly that it is hard to distinguish the command from its execution. Yet the mind is the mind, and the hand is a body. The mind tells the mind to will; one is the same as the other, and yet it does not do what it is told.”
Saint Augustin
Confessions: Livre XI
“It's as f you can say to money, 'buy me this,' 'take me there,' and 'do the following.' Keep in mind that the only command money will not obey is 'make me happy.”
Robert M. Gignac
“He that cannot obey cannot command.”
Benjamin Franklin
“Nature cannot be commanded except by being obeyed.”
Francis Bacon
