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

    He had killed and put to earth so many that his sword broke in two. At length he thought to himself that that was enough massacring and killing for one day, and that the rest should be allowed to escape in order to spread the news.
    François Rabelais (1494–1553)

    Above the bayonets, mixed and crossed,
    Men saw a gray, gigantic ghost
    Receding through the battle cloud,
    And heard across the tempest loud
    The death cry of a nation lost!
    Will Henry Thompson (1848–1918)

    Knowledge, Virtue, Power are the victories of man over his necessities, his march to the dominion of the world.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
