Famous quotes containing the words order and/or battle:

    An honest man speaks the truth, though it may give offence; a vain man, in order that it may.
    William Hazlitt (1778–1830)

    I remember the scenes of battle in which we stood together. I remember especially that broad and deep grave at the foot of the Resaca hill where we left those gallant comrades who fell in that desperate charge. I remember, through it all, the gallantry, devotion and steadfastness, the high-set patriotism you always exhibited.
    Benjamin Harrison (1833–1901)
