Famous quotes containing the words order and/or battle:

    Life does not need to mutilate itself in order to be pure.
    Simone Weil (1909–1943)

    the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither
    yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet
    favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.
    Bible: Hebrew Ecclesiastes (l. IX, 11)
