Go, tell the Spartans, thou who passest by,
That here
obedient to their laws we lie.
View quotes by SimonidesEvery compulsion is put upon writers to become safe, polite,
obedient, and sterile
View quotes by Sinclair LewisTechniques such as genetic engineering, psychoactive drugs and electronic control of the brain make possible a transformation of the species into docile, fully-

View quotes by William BainbridgeNo man, not even a doctor, ever gives any other definition of what a nurse should be than this - 'devoted and
obedient'. This definition would do just as well for a porter. It might even do for a horse. It would not do for a policeman (Notes on Nursing)
View quotes by Florence NightingaleThere is nothing so dis
obedient as an undisciplined mind, and there is nothing so
obedient as a disciplined mind.
View quotes by BuddhaA democracy which makes or even effectively prepares for modern, scientific war must necessarily cease to be democratic. No country can be really well prepared for modern war unless it is governed by a tyrant, at the head of a highly trained and perfectly

View quotes by Aldous HuxleyIf any one faculty of our nature may be called more wonderful than the rest, I do think it is memory. There seems something more speakingly incomprehensible in the powers, the failures, the inequalities of memory, than in any other of our intelligences. The memory is sometimes so retentive, so serviceable, so
obedient; at others, so bewildered and so weak; and at others again, so tyrannic, so beyond control! We are, to be sure, a miracle every way; but our powers of recollecting and of forgetting do seem peculiarly past finding out. - Mansfield Park
