Famous quotes containing the words order and/or precedence:

    “This event advertises me that there is such a fact as death,—the possibility of a man’s dying. It seems as if no man had ever died in America before; for in order to die you must first have lived.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Let not England forget her precedence of teaching nations how to live.”
    —John Milton (1608–1674)
