William Ross Wallace (1819–1881) American poet
What rules the World? (also known by The Hand That Rocks The Cradle Is The Hand That Rules The World) reported in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed (1919).
Context: They say that man is mighty,
He governs land and sea;

Man from his throne hath hurled,
For the hand that rocks the cradle
Is the hand that rules the world.
