Famous quotes containing the words order and/or battle:

    I have not placed reading before praying because I regard it more important, but because, in order to pray aright, we must understand what we are praying for.
    Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)

    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)
