2. "He who wishes to be obeyed must know how to command". I think this is a good quote because of the fact that if you want to be obeyed then you have to know how ti give the right directions rules. it tells a leader that to become a leader you must learn how to command and saying the right thing tells if you can be a leader or not a leader.

3. "God is not willing to do everything and thus taking away our free will and that share of glory which belongs to us". this shows that our way of doing things sometimes are obviously not always the right way but can be the wrong way. Something were doing wrong is not ending the war it is making more problems that good. A good thing we're doing is political problems are getting solved but not always the easy way.
