Dominion Quotations
You can have no dominion greater or less than that over yourself. Leonardo da Vinci I had rather excel others in the knowledge of what is excellent, than in the extent of my power and dominion. Alexander the Great I would rather excel others in the knowledge of what is excellent than in the extent of my powers and dominion.

You rightfully have power and dominion over it, all its inhabitants, and all contained in its realm. Robert Collier A God without dominion, providence, and final causes, is nothing else but fate and nature. Alexander Pope In the sphere of thought, absurdity and perversity remain the masters of the world, and their dominion is suspended only for brief periods. Arthur Schopenhauer Great is the hand that holds dominion over man by a scribbled name. Dylan Thomas Nothing is more gratifying to the mind of man than power or dominion.
