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

    “My ideas are a curse.
    They spring from a radical discontent
    with the awful order of things.
    I play clown. I play carpenter. I play nurse.
    I play witch.”
    —Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    “It is often necessary to know how to obey a woman in order sometimes to have the right to command her.”
    —Victor Hugo (1802–1885)

    “If you are willing to inconvenience yourself in the name of discipline, the battle is half over. Leave Grandma’s early if the children are acting impossible. Depart the ballpark in the sixth inning if you’ve warned the kids and their behavior is still poor. If we do something like this once, our kids will remember it for a long time.”
    —Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
