What's the aforementioned quotation from, and how does it finish? It'll make a perfect finishing line in my essay but I just can't remember how it ends.
Help!
 
"...makes the rules." seems to be the Google search consensus... Although there are many variations! Can't find any origins of the phrase though...
 
Is it makes the rules?

And don't know where it is from.


He who controls the past commands the future, He who commands the future, conquers the past."
- Kane
 
I've found "Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world." by Henry Kissinger, which will do instead.

Guess it's just one of those things that is known but not attributed to one person.
 
He who controls the present, controls the past. He who controls the past, controls the future.


Oh wait.
 
"makes the rules" would seem to make most sense. It sounds like a v****tion on "He who pays the piper calls the tune", which is possibly more well known.

Why is [a r i a] a banned word, are we not allowed to discuss opera?!

First google hit is a link to a competitor shop by that name. Somewhat silly to censor it inside bigger words though.

Edit: which is hilarious because I would never have known that competitor existed if the forum filter hadn't prompted me to google it. :p
