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

    A. Well, an old order is a violent one.
    This proves nothing. Just one more truth, one more
    Element in the immense disorder of truths.
    Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one’s will. Virtue, good, evil are nothing but words, unless one takes them apart in order to build something with them; they do not win their true meaning until one knows how to apply them.
    Paul Gauguin (1848–1903)

    Any coward can fight a battle when he’s sure of winning, but give me the man who has pluck to fight when he’s sure of losing. That’s my way, sir; and there are many victories worse than a defeat.
    George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)

    Those who were skillful in Anatomy among the Ancients, concluded from the outward and inward Make of an Human Body, that it was the Work of a Being transcendently Wise and Powerful. As the World grew more enlightened in this Art, their Discoveries gave them fresh Opportunities of admiring the Conduct of Providence in the Formation of an Human Body.
    Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
