We shall be their lords too inasmuch as we shall be able to control them. We need not be 'anvils but hammers. We need not let outward circumstances dominate and tyrannise over us.
Certainly, as forces on land evolve and change, they must meet the requirements of rapidity and sustainment and are vital components of any mix of forces that seek by Shock and Awe to stun and then rapidly dominate an adversary to achieve U.S. national security objectives. We strongly feel that we as a nation cannot stand still in exploring defense alternatives.
Then she accepted it with true humour. She could afford to. But her daughters, Sheila and Dorothy, suffered acutely, being of this year's output and martyrs to responsibility. Meanwhile, Selwyn, grimly aware of an accident somewhere, and perfectly conscious of the feelings which must by this time dominate his hostess, was wondering how best to avoid anything that might resemble a situation.
"On the other hand, if they visit a house on a sunny day, it would be impossible for them to associate it with the idea of rain. "It would be most difficult to make these people alter their judgment, prematurely formed, and, in spite of the most authoritative assertions and the most self-evident proofs, their initial idea will dominate all those which one would like to instil into their minds.

It was the assertion of a claim to dominate which led to the eighty years' war when Spain tried to impose her yoke on the Netherlands, and blended with desire for gain a crusade against the faiths which rejected the supremacy of Rome. Was the Thirty years War a religious war or a struggle between rulers to assert and extend their powers?
And this startling living noise of water filled him with a sensation of acute anxiety, almost of active fear. "Hermione!" he said once more. It seemed to him that the voice of the water drowned his voice, that it was growing louder, was filling the palace with an uproar that was angry. "Hermione! Hermione!" He strove to dominate that uproar.
I do not believe Sir John Millais was proud of having helped a soap-boiler. I do not say he thought it wrong; but he was not proud of it. And that marks precisely the change from his time to our own.
