"Command is a mountaintop. The air breathed there……" — Bertrand de Jouvenel

"Command is a mountaintop. The air breathed there is different, and the perspectives seen there are different, from those of the valley of obedience. The passion for order and the genius for construction, which are part of man's natural endowment, get full play there. The man who has grown great sees from the top of his tower what he can make, if he so wills, of the swarming masses below him."

Bertrand de Jouvenel
