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

    “If we are the younger, we may envy the older. If we are the older, we may feel that the younger is always being indulged. In other words, no matter what position we hold in family order of birth, we can prove beyond a doubt that we’re being gypped.”
    —Judith Viorst (20th century)

    “It is with unfathomable love, pure joy and no regret that we leave this world. Men, do not cry for our fate, but cry for your own.”
    —Members of the Order of the Solar T.. New York Times, p. 1 (October l4, 1994)

    “What a battle a man must fight everywhere to maintain his standing army of thoughts, and march with them in orderly array through the always hostile country! How many enemies there are to sane thinking! Every soldier has succumbed to them before he enlists for those other battles.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “I was interested to see how a pioneer lived on this side of the country. His life is in some respects more adventurous than that of his brother in the West; for he contends with winter as well as the wilderness, and there is a greater interval of time at least between him and the army which is to follow. Here immigration is a tide which may ebb when it has swept away the pines; there it is not a tide, but an inundation, and roads and other improvements come steadily rushing after.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “A little group of wilful men reflecting no opinion but their own have rendered the great Government of the United States helpless and contemptible.”
    —Woodrow Wilson (1856–1924)

    “Especially when the October wind
    With frosty fingers punishes my hair,”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
