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

    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)

    All the sciences are now under an obligation to prepare for the future task of philosopher, which is to solve the problem of value, to determine the rank order of values.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    I’m out of repair
    but you are tall in your battle dress
    and I must arrange for your journey.
    I was always a virgin,
    old and pitted.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
