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

    “There is no permanent class of hired laborers amongst us. Twenty five years ago, I was a hired laborer. The hired laborer of yesterday, labors on his own account today; and will hire others to labor for him tomorrow. Advancement—improvement in condition—is the order of things in a society of equals.”
    —Abraham Lincoln (1809–1865)

    “What an infernal set of fools those schoolmarms must be! Well, if in order to please men they wish to live on air, let them. The sooner the present generation of women dies out, the better. We have idiots enough in the world now without such women propagating any more.”
    —Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)

    “In the domain of Political Economy, free scientific inquiry meets not merely the same enemies as in all other domains. The peculiar nature of the material it deals with, summons as foes into the field of battle the most violent, mean and malignant passions of the human breast, the Furies of private interest.”
    —Karl Marx (1818–1883)

    “When they are preparing for war, those who rule by force speak most copiously about peace until they have completed the mobilization process.”
    —Stefan Zweig (18811942)
