Famous quotes containing the words order and/or battle:
“One must be something in order to do something.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
“The easiest period in a crisis situation is actually the battle itself. The most difficult is the period of indecision—whether to fight or run away. And the most dangerous period is the aftermath. It is then, with all his resources spent and his guard down, that an individual must watch out for dulled reactions and faulty judgment.”
—Richard M. Nixon (1913–1995)
