Famous quotes containing the words order of, order and/or battle:

    All the sciences are now under an obligation to prepare for the future task of philosopher, which is to solve the problem of value, to determine the rank order of values.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    People press toward the light not in order to see better but in order to shine better.—We are happy to regard the one before whom we shine as light.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    It is humiliating to remain with our hands folded while others write history. It matters little who wins. To make a people great it is necessary to send them to battle even if you have to kick them in the pants. That is what I shall do.
    Benito Mussolini (1883–1945)
