Famous quotes containing the words order and/or battle:

    “Until the end of the Middle Ages, and in many cases afterwards too, in order to obtain initiation in a trade of any sort whatever—whether that of courtier, soldier, administrator, merchant or workman—a boy did not amass the knowledge necessary to ply that trade before entering it, but threw himself into it; he then acquired the necessary knowledge.”
    —Philippe Ariés (20th century)

    “The battle of the North Atlantic is a grim business, and it isn’t going to be won by charm and personality.”
    —Edmund H. North, British screenwriter, and Lewis Gilbert. First Sea Lord (Laurence Naismith)
