WILLIAM ROSS WALLACE
American lawyer and poet
(1819 - 1881)

The hand that rocks the cradle is the hand that rules the world.
      - [Mothers]

Who is this before whose presence idols tumble to the sod?
  While he cries out--"Allah Akbar! and there is no god but God!"
      - El Amin--The Faithful [Prayer]

They say that man is mighty,
  He governs land and sea,
    He wields a mighty scepter
      O'er lesser powers that be;
        But a mightier power and stronger
          Man from his throne has hurled,
            For the hand that rocks the cradle
              Is the hand that rules the world.
      - What Rules the World,
        written about 1865-66 [Motherhood]
