obeys

«The liberty of man consists solely in this: that he obeys natural laws because he has himself recognized them as such, and not because they have been externally imposed upon him by any extrinsic will whatever, divine or human, collective or individua»
«The press today is an army with carefully organized weapons, the journalists its officers, the readers its soldiers. But, as in every army, the soldier obeys blindly, and the war aims and operating plans change without his knowledge. The reader neither knows nor is supposed to know the purposes for which he is used and the role he is to play. There is no more appalling caricature of freedom of thought. Formerly no one was allowed to think freely; now it is permitted, but no one is capable of it any more. Now people want to think only what they are supposed to want to think, and this they consider freedom.»
«There is no nation so powerful, as the one that obeys its laws not from principals of fear or reason, but from passion.»
«The man who obeys is nearly always better than the man who commands»
«To the excessively fearful the chief characteristic of power is its arbitrariness. Man had to gain enormously in confidence before he could conceive an all-powerful God who obeys his own laws.»
«The man who commands efficiently must have obeyed others in the past, and the man who obeys dutifully is worthy of being some day a commander»
«The mind commands the body and it obeys. The mind orders itself and meets resistance.»
«The mouth obeys poorly when the heart murmurs.»
