Famous quotes containing the words height of, height and/or order:
“We have not the motive to prepare ourselves for a “life-work” of teaching, of social work—we know that we would lay it down with hallelujah in the height of our success, to make a home for the right man.

—Ruth Benedict (1887–1948)

“I have not placed reading before praying because I regard it more important, but because, in order to pray aright, we must understand what we are praying for.”
