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

    “It is well within the order of things
    That man should listen when his mate sings;
    But the true male never yet walked
    Who liked to listen when his mate talked.”
    —Anna Wickham (1884–1947)

    “A superhuman will is needed in order to write, and I am only a man.”
    —Gustave Flaubert (1821–1880)

    “If you are willing to inconvenience yourself in the name of discipline, the battle is half over. Leave Grandma’s early if the children are acting impossible. Depart the ballpark in the sixth inning if you’ve warned the kids and their behavior is still poor. If we do something like this once, our kids will remember it for a long time.”
    —Fred G. Gosman (20th century)
